On 18 January 2010 he was named in the 35-man Wales national Squad for the 2010 Six Nations Championship.
Despite interest from clubs in the Magners League and the French Top 14, Lewis-Roberts signed a three-year contract with Sale Sharks in March 2010. In September the same year, early in the season, Lewis-Roberts suffered an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in a match against Harlequins. As Lewis-Robert required re-constructive surgery on his knee, he was expected to miss most of the season. He signed for French Top 14 outfit Toulon in 2011 reuniting with Philippe Saint-Andre his former coach at Sale. At the end of the 2011-12 season he returned to Sale Sharks as part of a deal which saw Andrew Sheridan go in the other direction to Toulon.
Lewis-Roberts retired from rugby in September 2017 after suffering a knee injury.
