A product of the Mansfield Town academy, Lawson left the Stags in July 2022 to join Millwall, where he went straight into their Professional Development League side.
After being sent out on loan to struggling Maidstone United in December 2022, Lawson would go on to play 16 times for the Stones, including winning the club’s Player of the Month award for February 2023.
He was given a new contract by Millwall last summer, featuring in the Lions’ first team pre season before a loan move to Ebbsfleet United came in September 2024. Lawson made six appearances for the Fleet before sustaining an injury in the National League Cup in November and returning to Millwall.
He now joins a side with his fellow Millwall loanee Chinwike Okoli, hoping to boost the Cards’ midfield options.
