The 27-year-old has excelled himself since his break into North West Counties Football just over three years ago.
Joining Bacup Borough at the start of the 2021/22 season, from Sunday league side Avenue FC in Middleton.
He left Brent Peters’ side for Chadderton in the summer after scoring 27 goals last season and crowning them winners of the Edward Case Cup, with a stunning free-kick against Euxton Villa in the final.
The scoring form has continued into this season with 34 goals in 38 games, including 10 goals in his last eight games.
Upon signing for the club, Lewis said: “When I heard that Bury wanted to sign me it was the best feeling that I have had in football to date.
“I spoke to Dave about the club’s ambitions which go much further than this season, the experience of the team and the infrastructure that is in place which has everything to take myself and the whole club to the next level and beyond.
“I’m so happy to be a part of this club’s journey which is only heading one way.”
Manager, Dave McNabb added: “Lewis is a natural goalscorer with a brilliant range of finishing and an instinct to be in the right place at the right time.
“His goalscoring record for the last 3 seasons is evident of this. Capable of playing anywhere across the front line he will give us even more firepower heading into the final third of the season.”
The signing is subject to NWCFL & FA approval.

It was a tough run, and this will be a tough game in South Manchester. But we’re at the top of the league, with 64 points from 30 games, compared with West’s 50 from 28 in fifth position.
Despite much of the squad suffering from a bug we overcame an early goal to come away 5-2 derby day winners against Prestwich Heys.
Much credit for the size of the winning margin must go to Rustam Stepans. He came on as a late sub despite being one of several players in the squad who were unwell.
The two goals he scored in a matter of minutes took his tally for the season to 18, and included a classic of the kind we’ve often seen from him this term.
So here’s to 2025: one game a week with no postponements (fingers crossed), and eyes set firmly on promotion.
You know the drill, back the lads! Loud and proud! Up The Shakers.
In Opposition – West Didsbury & Chorlton
West started life as a Sunday School team in 1908 and became West Didsbury AFC in 1920. They added Chorlton to their name in 2003 to reflect their move to their current location seven years earlier.
Joining the NWCFL in 2012 and were promoted to the premier division after just one season.
They are currently on a good run, having won five and lost only one of their last six matches.
Next up after the Shakers is a visit to North Shields in the fourth round of the Isuzu FA Vase – a competition in which West have enjoyed considerable success.

Victory against Heys would bring our points tally over the Christmas period to seven, but we can be sure they won’t go down without a fight. As we’ve seen again and again, teams come to Gigg Lane determined to give us a tough battle. For Heys, a local derby makes the challenge even greater.
It’s disappointing that we don’t go into the game with the prospect of making it nine points over Christmas. But a convincing victory at high-flying Chadderton last weekend and a good performance against Ramsbottom to come from behind twice to draw, sends us into this final festive fixture in good heart.
The Boxing Day gate of 5,800-plus was a huge encouragement, and shows the world that we mean business. So the call goes out again. Please be there and keep Gigg Lane rocking. Up the Shakers!!!
View Boxing Day’s post match media including interviews with Dave McNabb, Gaz Peet & Cam Fogerty below.
In Opposition – Prestwich Heys
Heys lost 1-0 at Irlam on Boxing Day, but can take heart from their 2-1 home win against Longridge Town last Saturday.
They’re eight points behind second-to-bottom Colne, having scored only 24 goals all season and conceded 61.
In 28 matches, Heys have accrued only 12 points – three wins and three draws. But it’s perhaps significant that two of those three wins have come in recent games, so perhaps some form to draw from heading into this fixture.

Our Matchday @ Gigg guide is available to read to find out everything you need to know going on in and around the ground.
