AFL career
Hawthorn
Lewis was drafted by Hawthorn with Pick 7 in the 2004 AFL Draft.

He made his AFL debut in season 2005.
Lewis was voted Hawthorn's best first-year player in 2005. He was a 2005 nominee for the AFL Rising Star award.
In 2008, Lewis was part of the Hawthorn team that won the premiership against Geelong.
A Hawthorn vice-captain in 2012, Lewis led the side while captain Luke Hodge was sidelined during the early part of the season.
In 2014 Lewis played his 200th AFL game in Round 7, as the Hawks defeated St Kilda by 145 points. Jordan also won his third premiership for Hawthorn as well as earning his first ever Peter Crimmins Medal.
At the end of the 2015 season, Lewis became one of only seven current AFL players to have won four AFL premierships.
Melbourne
At the conclusion of the 2016 season, Lewis was traded to the Melbourne Football Club.
On 20 August 2019, Lewis announced that he would retire at the end of the season. He was flanked by his only two AFL coaches, Alastair Clarkson and Simon Goodwin, at his retirement press conference.
