"After losing Geraldo Bajrami we felt it was important to strengthen defensively, so we're delighted to have secured Lewis' services," read a statement from the County board.

"Although he spent most of his time at Dundalk as a full-back, he is more than comfortable at centre-back and possesses all the attributes we look for in someone who can play on the right of a back three.

"As well as being defensively sound, Lewis is energetic and an excellent crosser of the ball. We feel he can make positive contributions in attacking phases, as well as defensive.

"With Kyle Cameron, Aden Baldwin, Richard Brindley, Connell Rawlinson and Ollie Tipton already in place, as well as Adam Chicksen who has proven himself more than capable in central positions, we're confident that we're now well covered in defence, as well as all other areas of the squad.

"We wish Luke and the players well for what promises to be an exciting match against Accrington Stanley on Saturday."
