Early years and education[edit]

Lewers was educated at Cairnshill Primary School,[1] Wellington College Belfast,[2][3][4] and Ulster University where he gained a Bachelor's degree in Sports Science and Management.[5]

Domestic teams[edit]

Annadale[edit]

As a youth Lewers played for Annadale.[6][7] He was also a member of the Annadale team that won five Ulster Senior League titles between 2002–03 and 2006–07.[4][8] Lewers also scored for Annadale in the 2006–07 Irish Senior Cup final as they lost 4–3 to Glenanne.[9] His father, David Dewers, had played for Annadale in the 1984 Irish Senior Cup final.[10] While playing for Annadale, Iain Lewers also represented Ulster at interprovincial level.[7][11]

HGC[edit]

Between 2007 and 2010 Lewers played for HGC in the Hoofdklasse.[12][13][14] Together with John Jermyn and Barry Middleton, he was a member of the HGC team that finished as runners up in the 2007–08 Euro Hockey League.[15][16][17] He also helped HGC finish as runners-up in the 2009–10 Hoofdklasse.[1]

Men's England Hockey League[edit]

Lewers played for several clubs in the Men's England Hockey League including Loughborough, East Grinstead, Holcombe and Wimbledon.[18][19][20][21][22][23]

Hockey India League[edit]

Lewers also played in the Hockey India League. In 2014 he played for Uttar Pradesh Wizards. At the 2014 auction he was initially selected as a replacement. However, due to injuries he was subsequently called up to play the season.[24][25] During the 2016 and 2017 seasons he played for Delhi Waveriders.[23][26]

International[edit]

Between 2004 and 2008 Lewers made 88 senior appearances for Ireland. He made his senior debut for Ireland in a 2004 Celtic Cup match against Wales. He had previously represented Ireland at under-16 and under-18 levels.[7][27] He was a member of the Ireland team that won the 2005 Men's EuroHockey Nations Trophy.[4][11][28] He also represented Ireland at the 2006 Men's Intercontinental Cup,[28] the 2007 Men's EuroHockey Nations Championship,[29][30] and at the 2008 Men's Field Hockey Olympic Qualifier.[7][31] In July 2008 the Irish Hockey Association announced that Lewers was switching allegiances from Ireland to England/Great Britain.[7][14][32]

Great Britain[edit]

Between 2011 and 2016 [33] Lewers made 72 senior appearances for Great Britain. Having previously played for Ireland, Lewers had to wait for three years before he was eligible to play for Great Britain.
