Millar Matthews-Lewis

Millar Matthews-Lewis reached Burton Albion in February 2026 after a season in which he scored 12 goals in 26 appearances for Hemel Hempstead Town. The fee was not disclosed. He signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with an option for a further 12 months.

His route there ran through Luton Town, where he joined the academy at Under-14 level and moved up through the Under-18 and Under-21 sides. One afternoon from that period stands out: in the 2022/23 season he scored a hat-trick for Luton's youth side in the Bedfordshire Senior Cup final against Biggleswade Town. Luton released him in 2024.

Senior football began at Farnborough, first on loan in January 2024 and then on a permanent deal that July. In 2024/25 he scored nine goals in eight appearances there, one of them in a 2-0 away win at Bath City. In February 2025 he went on loan to Hemel Hempstead Town, who made the move permanent that July.

The 2025/26 season at Hemel Hempstead is what took him to Burton. Among his goals was one in a 3-3 draw against Farnborough, the club he had left the previous year. Across his senior appearances for the two non-league clubs he collected a single yellow card.

Burton then sent him out to gain first-team minutes. He joined Yeovil Town on loan in March 2026 for the rest of that season, and in September 2026 moved to AFC Fylde for three months.
