Lewis Banks
Arbroath FC are delighted to announce the signing of 25-year-old right back Lewis Banks until the end of the season.
The English defender, who hails from Stoke-on-Trent played for his home town team at both U21 and U23 level, where he was also Captain. He helped the young Stoke City side lift the Staffordshire Senior Cup, and was named their U23 Player of the Season at age 21.
In August 2018 Lewis moved to Stafford Rangers, a semi-professional team from Stafford who play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division for a season, but then was snapped up in February 2019 by Sligo Rovers, who play in the Premier Division in the League of Ireland.
At Sligo, Lewis played prominently at right back, but also played at left back if needed and scored some important winning goals for the Rovers.
Lewis was voted the club’s Player of the Year in 2019, and nominated again in 2021.
Making over 118 appearances for the “The Bit O’Red”, Lewis also gained experience playing European football with Sligo Rovers competing in the Europa Conference League over the past few seasons and was in the side that knocked out Motherwell earlier this season.
We look forward to welcoming Lewis to the Club!
C’mon the Lichties
