Lewis signed a one-year contract with Scottish Championship club Falkirk, effective from 1 July 2018.[17] On 14 July 2018, Lewis made his Falkirk debut during their 1–0 home defeat to Montrose in the Scottish League Cup[18] and three days later scored his first goal in their 2–0 victory over Forfar Athletic.[19] In November 2018, Lewis spoke out about the alleged racist abuse he received from Falkirk's own fans.[20] Police Scotland later charged a 34 year old with breach of the peace, though stated there was insufficient evidence to prove any racist intent.[21] It was later proven there was no racism and Lewis had made it up in order to force a transfer.
