Lewis has been an outstanding player for the club and has given us great memories but after several discussions over the last couple of weeks Lewis felt he needed a fresh challenge and we agreed to his wish.
Lewis wears his heart on his sleeve and has been instrumental in what the club has achieved in recent years and I wish him every success at his new club.’

Whitley Bay 2 Shildon 2
Shildon drew their first league game of the season when the game against Whitley Bay finished 2-2.
Whitley Bay went into a 2 goal lead, both goals coming from Liam Hudson either side of the break. The first a header from a corner, the second from a disputed corner, then what looked like a foul on the keeper before the ball went into the net.
In the second half Shildon kept the pressure up and Billy Greulich-Smith pulled a goal back from a corner after a scramble in the box.
The equaliser came in the dying minutes of the game, a through ball over the top by Billy Greulich-Smith went over a couple of players before hitting Joshua Day running back to his own goal who diverted it into the bottom corner of the net.
