Lewis Reed, a trainee from Cornwall, played two first-team games for Exeter City during 2003/04 before becoming a well-known name in Cornish football circles.  

Lewis made his Grecians debut as a substitute in a 5-2 Conference win at Forest Green Rovers in September 2003. Soon afterwards he made a further substitute appearance in the Football League Trophy tie at Hereford. 

Released at the end of the season 2004/05 Lewis returned to Cornwall and, in an often injury-hit career, played for a number of clubs including Bodmin Town (alongside Kevin Miller), Ivybridge Town, St Blazey and Truro City.
