Joseph Peter "Joe" Lewis (born 6 October 1987) is an English professional football goalkeeper who plays for Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen.
Born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, Lewis had been involved with Norwich City's youth system since 1995 at the age of eight. In August 2003 he agreed to join Norwich as a scholar at the culmination of his studies at Bungay High School in the summer of 2004. However, before he had completed his studies and at the age of just 15 years and 356 days old, he experienced life with the first team squad when a knee injury to Paul Crichton saw Lewis handed a place on the bench for the 2–1 home victory over Crystal Palace on 27 September 2003. He maintained his place on the bench for the next six games until Crichton returned to fitness at the beginning of November.
The 2004–05 season saw Lewis begin as a full-time scholar though this period was short as in October he signed a three-year contract to become a professional. That season saw Lewis have an insight into life in the Premier League as he was named on the bench for the 2–0 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur on 26 December 2004. His second professional season, 2005–06, saw him sit on Norwich's bench for the final four games. At the culmination of the season, the then manager Nigel Worthington considered the possibility of sending Lewis out on loan for the 2006–07 season to enable him to gain first-team experience. However, the sale of Robert Green to West Ham United meant that Lewis became second-choice goalkeeper at Carrow Road before a fractured cheekbone sustained in a reserve team game against Leyton Orient prompted the loan signing of Lee Camp. On 15 November, Lewis played for Bury reserves against Blackpool with a view to signing on loan but no move materialised.
