St Helens
Lewis made his first team début for St Helens (Heritage No. 1253) on 29 September 2020, coming off the substitutes' bench in the second half to fill the hooker role, when James Roby left the field, in the Super League XXV 42–0 defeat of Wigan Warriors.[3] Wigan were fielding a weakened side, giving débuts to a number of young players, in advance of their Challenge Cup semi-final draw in a few days.
Dodd played for St. Helens in their 2021 Super League Grand Final victory over Catalans Dragons. It was the club's third successive championship victory in a row.[4] Following St Helens Good Friday victory over Wigan in the 2022 Super League season, it was revealed that Dodd would miss the remainder of the year after suffering an achilles injury.[5]
In the 2023 World Club Challenge, Dodd kicked the match-winning field goal in golden point extra time to give St Helens a 13–12 victory over 2022 NRL premiers the Penrith Panthers, and their first World Club Challenge title since 2007. In round 13 of the 2023 Super League season, Dodd kicked a drop goal for St Helens in golden point extra-time to win the match 13–12 over Leeds.[6][7] Dodd played 29 games for St Helens in the 2023 Super League season as the club finished third on the table. Dodd played in St Helens narrow loss against the Catalans Dragons in the semi-final which stopped them reaching a fifth successive grand final.[8] Dodd played 20 games for St Helens in the 2024 Super League season which saw the club finish sixth on the table. He played in St Helens golden point extra-time playoff loss against Warrington which was also his last game for the club.[9]
South Sydney Rabbitohs
On 5 May 2024, Dodd signed a three-year deal to join NRL side South Sydney starting in 2025.[10] On 24 February 2025, Dodd was suspended for one game after accepting an early guilty plea for a high tackle during South Sydney's heavy loss in the Charity Shield match. Dodd came under scrutiny from supporters and sections of the media for his below par performances in the Charity Shield and previous trial game. In round 7 of the 2025 NRL season, Dodd made his club debut off the interchange bench for South Sydney in their 32-0 loss against Canterbury-Bankstown.[11]
