Lewis Mayo

Lewis Mayo of Aberdeen was born in Lenzie, Scotland on 19 March 2000 (age 26).

Lewis Mayo, born on 19 March 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish central defender with Aberdeen, where he wears squad number 23. His senior career was shaped by early loan football before he found a more settled platform at Kilmarnock.

Kilmarnock has given Mayo’s career its clearest shape. Across four seasons there, he made 131 league appearances and scored once, becoming a regular part of the side rather than a passing squad option. His busiest league campaign came in 2023-2024, when he played 36 times and got his goal.

He has remained firmly involved since moving on to Aberdeen. In 2025-2026, he has made 24 league appearances, along with four in the League Cup and one in the Scottish Cup, giving him 29 appearances across all competitions for the club.

Mayo’s career so far is that of a steady Scottish centre-half whose main body of work was built at Kilmarnock, with Aberdeen now the next substantial stage of it.

Mayo's senior path has run through Rangers, Dunfermline Athletic, Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen.

His most substantial recent spell came at Kilmarnock, where his 2025-26 season included 29 domestic appearances across league and cup.

Mayo's transfer history is built around loans and controlled domestic moves rather than major fees. Rangers sent him on loan to Dunfermline Athletic in 2020, Partick Thistle in 2021 and Kilmarnock in 2022, before Kilmarnock made the move permanent for an undisclosed fee in 2023. Aberdeen then signed him from Kilmarnock on a free transfer in July 2026.
