Lewis McGugan is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on October 25, 1988 in Long Eaton, England, United Kingdom. Lewis Shay McGugan, an English professional footballer, was born 25 October 1988. He plays as a middlefielder. He is a player who has demonstrated exceptional natural stamina, technical skill, and mental attributes. He represented England at the under-17 and under-19 level.

McGugan was unable to start the 2007-08 campaign because of an ankle injury which required surgery. In Forest’s 2-2 draw against Northampton Town, McGugan scored his first league goal with a 20-yard strike. In the second minute of stoppage, he scored his fourth goal of season in Forest’s 2-2 draw with Northampton Town. The strike would make him the club’s goal-of-the-season for the second consecutive year. Colin Calderwood, McGugan’s manager, said that “he is a young player with an amazing future.” McGugan signed a three-and-a half year contract in February. McGugan did not score again until April. However, he scored three goals in Forest’s final four matches, including a goal against Yeovil Town in the “Reds’ 3-2 win on the final day of the campaign. This saw Forest become the Championship runners-up in League One.

Despite being complimented by Davies for his much improved fitness, McGugan found himself on the bench in the first half of the 2009–10 season, with Paul McKenna, Guy Moussi and Radosław Majewski all being preferred ahead of him. He also missed six weeks after sustaining a fractured cheekbone in a defeat to Watford. He was limited to just six league starts over the campaign, and though Forest qualified for the play-offs, McGugan made only a cameo appearance in the semi-final defeat to Blackpool.

Again on the bench at the start of the 2010–11 season, his marked his first start with a brace in a 2–1 victory at Preston North End on 14 September. He claimed another brace 11 days later, in a 3–1 win over Swansea that was Forest’s first home win of the campaign. After this he also went on to score in a 3–1 defeat away at Barnsley on 16 October and a 1–0 home win over Middlesbrough three days later. This left him as the club’s top-scorer despite only starting seven matches; teammate Chris Cohen said that “Lewis has made himself more versatile this season and has been fantastic so far. If it wasn’t for his goals at the moment we’d be in a lot of trouble”. On 23 October, McGugan continued his fine goal-scoring form with a “superb long-range free- kick” against Ipswich Town; this would later be voted as the Championship Goal of the Season. Speaking on his good form he stated that “I’ve worked hard in the summer, made sure I had a good pre-season and waited for my chance. And I’ve taken it”. His impressive form and spectacular long range efforts were seen again on 6 November when he scored from 25 yards to secure a 1–1 draw at Watford. On 20 November, McGugan added to his great start to the season with the opening goal and assist for the second in a 2–0 win at Cardiff City, who were the league leaders at the time. He continued to score goals and ended the season as the club’s top scorer with a total of 13 goals in 45 appearances. Forest finished in sixth-place to secure a play-off berth, but were beaten 3–1 on aggregate by Swansea at the semi-final stage.

At 17 years old, he made his first-team debut in October 2006. He was part of Nottingham Forest’s youth team. By the end of 2006-07, he had secured a regular spot in the starting lineup. After the 2007-08 season, Forest received automatic promotion out to League One. He went on to become a Championship player in the following season despite his struggles with weight and fitness. Due to injuries and the form of other players, he found that first-team opportunities were limited for him in the 2009-10 season. He returned to the starting eleven the following season and was the club’s top goal scorer, scoring a total 13 goals in 45 games. He lost form in the following season and only regained his form towards the end of 2012-13. In July 2013, he joined Watford as a free transfer, but he was kicked out of the first team by the end 2013-14 season. He spent two loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday in the next season and then joined Watford on a permanent basis, joining the club in July 2015. He was dropped at the end of the 2015-16 season, and was then dropped completely from the first-team for the 2016-17 campaign. In October 2017, he signed a three-month contract for Northampton Town.
