Lewis Mayo, born on 19 March 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish central defender with Aberdeen. His career was shaped early by loan football, the useful sort of education for a centre-half: senior games, proper forwards, and fewer hiding places than youth football tends to offer.
The substantial part of his career, though, belongs to Kilmarnock. Across four league seasons at Rugby Park he made 131 league appearances and scored one league goal, becoming a regular rather than a passing name. His busiest league campaign came in 2023-24, when he played 36 times and scored once.
He has since moved on to Aberdeen, where he wears the number 23 shirt. In 2026-27 he has made one league appearance and scored one league goal, alongside four League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup, giving him six Aberdeen appearances and one goal in all competitions.
Mayo’s career to this point is that of a defender who built his senior standing through Kilmarnock, after useful early loan spells, before taking the next step with Aberdeen.
