He joined up with Terry Spillane at Stansted and was part of the side that won the Essex Senior League in 2010 and were runners-up in the league but won the League Cup in 2011. Lewis moved to Redbridge with Spillane who retained Jody Brown on the coaching staff. A successful season at Redbridge resulted in Spillane moving to Maldon & Tiptree with his backroom staff and several players including Lewis Dark.

Supporters will remember Lewis's time at the club in 2009 and later during the 2014/15 season under the management of Jody Brown.

Speaking to the club after signing Lewis, manager Jim Cooper said:

"I am delighted that Lewis Dark will also be joining us for next seasons campaign. I first saw Lewis play a couple of years back when he was at Heybridge Swifts. It was then I decided that if I get the chance to sign him I would and so it has come to be.
He will come into the side as captain of the club and like our other signings he will add experience and leadership."
