First-Team Manager, Dave Challinor said:

“Lewis is another player that we’ve had a longstanding interest in trying to bring in, so to finally have him is really pleasing. He had a frustrating season last year with some injuries but he’s a player with a really high ceiling and huge potential, who has trained with and learned from the best over his time at Manchester City.

“Technically he is fantastic, and he will undoubtedly be a huge addition to our squad. For a young player to have the experience he has in the Championship, League One, international Football and in another country is rare, and we feel he can have a real impact over the next few years.”
