Growing up, Lewis would play pickup games with family members and friends, who he credited with helping him grow his interest in the sport: "My family being Caribbean and British, all they ever did is play and watch soccer.

In 2014, Lewis moved to Illinois and joined the youth academy at the Chicago Fire. He stayed with the academy for a season before returning to Florida. In 2015, Lewis participated in a trial event in Orlando for the Richmond International Academic and Soccer Academy (RIASA) where he was invited to join the academy in England.
