Lewis Ferguson (born 24 August 1999) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Aberdeen as a midfielder.

Club career

Hamilton

A graduate of the Hamilton Academical youth system after earlier being part of the setup at Rangers,[2][3] Ferguson made his senior debut for Accies on 20 January 2018.[4] He became a regular in the Hamilton team in the latter part of the 2017–18 season, replacing Greg Docherty who had moved to Rangers.[5]

With his contract due to expire at the end of that season, Ferguson signed a pre-contract agreement with Aberdeen in May 2018.[5][6] He was one of seven first-team players who left Hamilton at the end of the 2017–18 season.[7]

Aberdeen

Ferguson made his competitive debut for Aberdeen on 26 July 2018, in the first leg of a Europa League tie against Burnley at Pittodrie Stadium.[8][9] He scored his first senior goal in the second leg at Turf Moor – a "stunning overhead kick" – although Burnley eventually won the tie on aggregate after extra time.[10]

International career

Ferguson was called up by the Scotland under-19 team in August 2017,[11] making a number of appearances for them.[12]

Personal life

Lewis is the son of Derek Ferguson and nephew of Barry Ferguson, both former professional footballers for Rangers and Scotland.[13]
