Born on 25th January 1998, Jamal Lewis stands as a stoic figure in the world of football, known primarily for his prowess as a left-back defender for the renowned Newcastle United team. With his roots etched in England, Lewis dons the number 12 jersey as he stands at an impressive height of 5ft 10in (1.78m) and weighs about 11st (70kg). Beyond his professional duty at Newcastle, the talented defender has worn the proud colours of the Northern Irish national team, bringing his skills to an international level.
As reported by Transfermarkt, Lewis' current market value hovers around a notable worth of around £2.13m, reflecting his skill set's demand in the football market. His contract with Newcastle United, binding until 30th June 2025, is dwindling down to its last month, adding a layer of anticipation around his football career's next phase.
Looking back at his fruitful career, Lewis made his debut back in the 2017-2018 season with Norwich City, making a commendable 22 first team appearances. His time at Norwich only gained momentum in the following season, culminating in an impressive 42 first team appearances. The 2019-2020 season brought in a slight dip in appearances down to 28, offset by the achievement of scoring his debut goal.
By the 2020-2021 season, Lewis had found a new home in Newcastle United, granting him the opportunity to make 24 first team appearances. However, in the following two seasons, his presence somewhat dwindled, having made five and two first team appearances respectively.
A change of scenery was on the horizon as the 2023-2024 season saw him sport the colours of Watford, resulting in a staggering 36 first team appearances. This rejuvenating spell, however, was short-lived as he made a transitional shift to São Paulo in Brazil by 2024, with a record of six first team appearances.
On the international front, Lewis held the flag of Northern Ireland high during his participation in the Euro Qualifiers, securing six starting positions between 2022-2024. The following Nations League of 2024-2025 saw him making two starts with an additional appearance as a substitute, further cementing his place on the international stage.
