Lewis-Roberts was selected for the 2009 Wales rugby union tour of North America, but forced to withdraw due to injury. He was omitted from the squad for the 2009 end-of-year rugby union internationals to focus on fitness targets.

On 18 January 2010, he was named in the 35-man Wales squad for the 2010 Six Nations Championship.

Despite interest from clubs in the Celtic League and the French Top 14, Lewis-Roberts signed a three-year contract with Sale Sharks in March 2010. In September the same year, early in the season, Lewis-Roberts suffered an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in a match against Harlequins. As Lewis-Robert required re-constructive surgery on his knee, he was expected to miss most of the season. He signed for French Top 14 outfit Toulon in 2011 reuniting with Philippe Saint-Andre his former coach at Sale. At the end of the 2011–12 season he returned to Sale Sharks as part of a deal which saw Andrew Sheridan go in the other direction to Toulon. While in France, he was falsely accused of using performance-enhancing drugs, with the investigation clearing him on all charges.

Lewis-Roberts retired from rugby in September 2017 after suffering a knee injury.
