Lewis Mayo, born on 19 March 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish central defender now with Aberdeen. His route into senior football was helped by early loan spells, the sort that tend to matter more to a young centre-half than any amount of academy polish.
His career has been shaped most clearly at Kilmarnock. Across four seasons at Rugby Park, Mayo made 131 league appearances and scored once, becoming a regular part of the side rather than a passing squad name. The 2023-24 season was his heaviest league campaign there, with 36 appearances and his Kilmarnock league goal.
He moved on to Aberdeen, where he wears squad number 23. In 2026-27, he has made six league appearances and scored once, along with six League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup, giving him 13 appearances and one goal for the club across all competitions.
Mayo’s career to date is that of a Scottish defender who built his senior grounding through loans, established himself properly at Kilmarnock, and is now trying to carry that reliability into his Aberdeen spell.
