James John "Jack" Lewis (born 16 January 1902, date of death unknown) was a Welsh footballer who played in the Football League for Cardiff City, Newport County and Tranmere Rovers. He was born in Newport.[1]
Lewis started his career at his home town club Newport County, joined Cardiff City in 1924. Having made just one appearance for the club, during a 4–1 defeat against Bury,[2] Lewis was called into the Wales squad for the British Home Championship match against Scotland on 31 October 1925, which ended in a 3–0 defeat.[3] Lewis never played for Wales or Cardiff City again, moving to Tranmere Rovers where he went on to make over 250 appearances.
