Lewis signed with England's Fulham, then in the Football League First Division, in 2000. He spent three seasons there, but did not see much playing time, especially in his last year, when the club was promoted to the Premiership. He only played one game for his club in 2001-02, the meaningless season finale. Overall, he appeared in 14 total games for the London club, scoring just one goal. Lewis made a move to Preston North End in 2002 and spent the next three years there, a consistent starter throughout his tenure.

Since his transfer to Leeds, Lewis has impressed greatly. A set piece expert, he scored excellent free-kicks against Burnley and more importantly in the play-off semi final first leg against Preston North End. Lewis was the subject of a transfer bid from Wolverhampton Wanderers just before the transfer deadline in Summer 2006 but the bid was instantly rejected by chairman Ken Bates^[2]. Lewis has been a regular in the 2006-07 Championship season with Leeds, once again playing in his favoured left wing position.

Since the signings of Robbie Elliott and Michael Gray to replace underperforming Stephen Crainey, Lewis has been playing back at left wing. He scored three times for Leeds in the 2006-7 season.

International Level

Lewis made his debut with the U.S. national team on October 16, 1996, against Peru, a game boycotted by almost all regular US players because of salary concerns. Unlike most of the other players to appear in that game, Lewis went on to have a long national career, compiling 72 caps as of June 2006. He played an important role for the US in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, starting both elimination games, and delivering a cross to Landon Donovan for the team's second goal in their 2-0 victory over Mexico. With increasing competition at left midfield, most notably from DaMarcus Beasley, Lewis began a transition to left back in late 2005, debuting in that slot in a World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago on August 17, 2005. Although he continues to play left midfield for his professional club, Lewis has welcomed the move to left back for the national team and appears to be on the way to securing a permanent role in that position.

On May 2, 2006, for the second successive time, Lewis was named in the US squad for the FIFA World Cup in Germany. Lewis started the American's first World Cup game against the Czech Republic at left back, but lost that spot after their disappointing 3-0 loss. After sitting out the US draw with eventual champions Italy in their second game, he rejoined the starting lineup at left midfield against Ghana. His inspired play nearly helped the US team to equalize, but his ball to Brian McBride glanced off the goal post. The United States were eliminated from the competition after suffering a 2-1 defeat.
