Career
Lewis was appointed as Match Analysis intern of former Championship side Peterborough United in June 2012. Lewis used his time to coach within the club. He then moved to former Scottish Premiership side Hibernian FC where he would carry on with similar roles. He now manages FC Olympique 13. In summer 2016 he joined recently relegated Gibraltar Second Division side Angels, becoming the youngest manager in UEFA's registered leagues.[1]
In June 2016 he resigned from the club and was announced as Olympique 13 manager a month later.
The club endured a slow start to the season, struggling in mid-table by the winter break. This resulted in a large scale rebuild of the squad in January, exemplified by the loan addition of Lincoln Red Imps attacker Kyle Casciaro along with Godwin Egbo, Dizza Usman and Uche Nwankwo from parent club DSS. The expulsion of promotion rivals Angels on 2 February 2018 saw the club propelled from 4th to 2nd in the league, one point off unbeaten leaders Europa Point, without kicking a ball over the winter break. By mid March Fraser and Olympique found themselves leading the Gibraltar Second Division. A spot in the promotion playoff was secured on the final week of the season with a 1-0 win over Hound Dogs, courtesy of a late Max Bothen goal.
Lewis at only the age of 24 has managed to guide Olympique 13 not only to their highest ever league finish (2nd) but also took the club the furthest it has ever been in the Rock Cup (Quarter Final).
Personal life
Lewis was brought up in the Scottish town of Musselburgh before moving to England as a teenager. He later attended Anglia Ruskin University where he studied Sport Science & Physical Education. During his time at University Lewis won the Sporting Excellence award 2 years in a row, becoming the first student to ever win it twice.
