Lewis Carl Billington (born 17 February 2004) is an English professional footballer plays as a defender for club Crewe Alexandra.

Career

Billington signed a scholarship deal with Crewe Alexandra's Academy in 2020. He signed his first professional deal with the club at the end of the 2021–22 season.

In January 2023, Billington joined Leek Town on loan for an initial month, a move that would be later extended until the end of the season. He was then offered a new contract by Crewe, signing a 12-month deal in June 2023. He played in both of Crewe's FA Cup first round matches against League One side Derby County, earning praise for his resilience after an early mistake in the replay on 14 November 2023 - just his sixth first team start.

In January 2024, Billington signed a new contract at Crewe through to the summer of 2025, with a 12-month extension option. Less than 24 hours later, he scored his first Crewe goal in his side's 3–1 win at Barrow on 20 January 2024.

On 14 May 2025, the club announced it had triggered an option to extend his contract. In July 2026, Billington signed a new three-year contract with Crewe.
