Lewis Lee Montsma (born 25 April 1998) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League One club Lincoln City.[2] He also works as a model.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Montsma’s mother is Swedish, making him eligible to play for Sweden internationally. He attended St Nicolaaslyceum alongside Matthijs de Ligt, where he regularly played football with him.[4]

Career

[edit]

He made his Eerste Divisie debut for FC Dordrecht on 31 August 2018 in a game against NEC, as a starter.[5]

Lincoln City

[edit]

On 14 July 2020, Montsma joined English League One club Lincoln City on a three-year contract, on a free transfer.[6][7] He made his Lincoln City debut and scored his first Lincoln goal in the EFL Cup on 5 September 2020 against Crewe Alexandra.[8] He would continue his goal scoring run, scoring in the second and third round of the EFL Cup against Bradford City and Liverpool.[9][10] And his run of scoring would continue in the next game against Charlton Athletic, scoring his first goal in League One.[11] On 8 January 2022, Lewis Montsma was injured against Oxford United, which was later confirmed as an ACL injury which would rule him out of action for up to 9 months.[12] Following his surgery on his ACL, he would sign a new contract until the summer of 2024.[13] Just over a year from his injury, Montsma returned to the squad on 28 January 2023 against Cambridge United.[14] He would pick up a similar knee injury a few months later against Fleetwood Town which would see him miss the remainder of the season.[15] It was later confirmed that he had ruptured his ACL as well as other knee damage and he would have a further 12 months of rehabilitation.[16] Despite not playing during the 2023–24 season, the club confirmed they were negotiating a new contract with him.[17] On 9 July 2024, Lincoln City confirmed that Montsma had signed a short-term contract for 6 months.[18] He made his return from injury after 15months out in the 2–1 defeat in the EFL Cup to Harrogate Town on 13 August 2024.[19]
