Myles Lewis-Skelly

Myles Anthony Lewis-Skelly (born 26 September 2006) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Arsenal and the England national team.

Lewis-Skelly has been with Arsenal since the age of eight, making his first-team debut with the club during their 2024–25 campaign on September 2024.

After representing England at multiple youth levels, Lewis-Skelly was eventually selected for the senior squad in March 2025 for 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, making his debut and scoring his first international goal against Albania and winning the Man of the Match award. Lewis-Skelly went to Longridge High School from Year 9 until 2023.

Myles Anthony Lewis-Skelly was born on 26 September 2006, in Denmark Hill, London. His parents are both British-born of mixed Caribbean descent.

During his time at Arsenal's Academy, Hale End, Lewis-Skelly attended the Aldenham School in Hertfordshire, playing simultaneously for his school and academy team.

Lewis-Skelly joined the academy of Premier League side Arsenal as a child at the age of eight. He progressed through the academy alongside friend and teammate Ethan Nwaneri, and the pair made their under-18 debut together in a 6–1 win over Reading, with both players scoring.

Lewis-Skelly drew acclaim for his performances in Arsenal's 2022–23 FA Youth Cup campaign, in which they reached the final before being defeated by West Ham United. In the fifth-round game played on 6 February 2023, he was deployed in a defensive midfield role as Arsenal beat Watford 4–2, before agreeing a scholarship deal with the club later in the same month, keeping him at Hale End for another two years, during which time he would become eligible for a professional contract.

His performance in the quarter-final win against Cambridge United earned the praise of former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, with the coach stating that Lewis-Skelly was capable of "things you can't coach". In the semi-final against Manchester City, he scored the winning goal in the final minute of extra time, as Arsenal went on to win 2–1.
