Midfielder Andre Lewis to Return for 2023 Season

Hartford Athletic Announces Partnership with World-Renowned Food Influencer Daym Drops

November 30, 2022 – United Soccer League Championship (USL)Hartford Athletic News Release

Hartford Athletic midfielder Andre Lewis will return for the 2023 season, pending league and federation approval.

“I’m excited to be coming back to Hartford,” said Lewis. “We made great progress under this technical staff at the end of last season, and I’m thrilled with the direction of the club going into 2023. Under Coach Ramos, I believe we will play with greater consistency throughout the regular season and get this club back to the playoffs.”


Lewis returns for a second season after Hartford Athletic acquired him via transfer from Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in January of 2022. The Jamaican midfielder proved to be a valuable acquisition for the club, making 33 appearances, 24 of them starts, during the 2022 campaign. He was a centerpiece to Hartford’s attacking play, scoring six goals and tallying three assists, while creating the second most chances (40) on the team.

“Andre performed well last year and brings quite a bit of creativity to our midfield,” said Head Coach Tab Ramos. “We encouraged him to be aggressive and go to goal more at the end of last season, and we were very happy with how he responded. We expect him to be a key contributor to our squad and an elite player in this league next season.”

The eight-year USL Championship veteran was voted to the USL Championship Team of the Week for his performances in Week 17 and in Week 30. On October 8th, Lewis recorded Hartford’s first ever hat trick in a 6-3 win over Charleston Battery. His penalty kick to seal the third goal was voted “Moment of the Year” in this year’s Fan’s Choice Awards.

“Andre is an established player who we think has the potential to be one of the best midfielders in the league,” said Technical Director Ray Reid. “He consistently creates chances for his teammates and is as good a guy in the locker room as he is on the pitch. We are very happy to have him here in Hartford.”

Lewis joins Conor McGlynn, Prince Saydee, Robin Lapert, and Danny Barrera on the 2023 roster. More information on new and returning player signings will be available in the coming weeks.
