Macarthur FC have secured the services of former Wellington Pheonix midfielder Clayton Lewis for the next two Isuzu UTE A-League seasons.
The 26-year-old New Zealand international puts pen to paper on a deal to join the Bulls in the aftermath of Wellington’s Elimination Final loss to Adelaide United in week one of the 2022-23 Finals Series.
Lewis spent three seasons under Ufuk Talay at the ‘Nix, making 63 league appearances in yellow and black.
Prior to earning his first A-League Men contract in Wellington, Lewis plied his trade for Auckland City in the ISPS Handa Men’s Premiership, which followed a two-season stint at Scunthorpe United in England’s League Two.
Lewis has scored three goals across his 63 A-League Men appearances for Wellington, proving himself as one of the league’s most gifted set-piece takers since his arrival on the scene in late-2020.
Macarthur head coach Mile Sterjovski says he’s excited to get to work with the experienced All Whites midfielder across the next two A-League Men seasons.
“Clayton is an international who brings in quality and experience,” Sterjovski said. “He has good passing range and can give us great deliveries with set pieces.
“With a good preseason ahead, I can see him being a valuable member of the squad.”
