Lewis, born in Brisbane, played rugby league while attending Ithaca Creek State School, but later picked up rugby union at Brisbane State High School and was a Combined High Schools representative.[1]
An elusive fly-half, Lewis was attached to the GPS club in Brisbane.[2] He gained four Wallabies caps during his career, including both matches in the 1934 Bledisloe Cup-winning series. Injuries plagued him during his Wallabies years and he also had the misfortune of being part of the abandoned 1939–40 tour of Britain.[1][3]
