Harry Lewis – Dundee Utd

Since joining Scottish Championship side Dundee Utd in July, 19-year-old Harry Lewis has made the first team keeper spot his own.

Lewis has started 10 of the Tangerines matches this season, limiting his counterpart Deniz Mehmet to only cup appearances. He has conceded nine goals in that time, and Dundee Utd currently sit 4th in the table, two points off the top spot.

A full season of competitive football is excellent experience for a goalkeeper at this age. Dundee Utd are a club with a big history, and it’s outstanding to see the trust and belief they have put in Lewis as they look to rebuild.

Saints fans will be delighted to see Lewis continue to progress, and will hope he retains his first team slot for the remainder of the season.
