Club career
Early career
Born in
Torquay United
He was released by Fulham in May 2005,[13] and he was offered a trial with League Two club Torquay United in July.[14] Lawless signed for the club on a free transfer and manager Leroy Rosenior said "It's important that the supporters are patient with these youngsters and give them time to learn and develop".[15] He made his debut on 6 August 2005 in a 0–0 draw at home to Notts County, although he only lasted 26 minutes before being replaced by Tony Bedeau.[16] His return from an injury after nearly a month out came in a 2–1 victory over Shrewsbury Town in September, which was Torquay's first win of the season.[16][17][18] He picked up another injury in November 2005,[19] and made his return after three months of not playing by starting in a 1–0 victory over Bristol Rovers on 17 December 2005.[16] He scored an own goal after 86 minutes against Wycombe Wanderers on 26 December 2005, which resulted in Torquay drawing 2–2.[20] His final appearance of the 2005–06 season came in a 2–0 defeat to Lincoln City in February 2006.[16] He was released by Torquay after making 16 appearances.[16][21]
Forest Green Rovers
Lawless joined
On the opening day of the
Lawless scored against
York City
Lawless signed for Forest Green's Conference Premier rivals York City on a one-year contract on 17 June 2009, despite there being two Football League clubs looking to sign him.[56][57] He made his debut in a 2–1 defeat to Oxford United on 8 August 2009.[58] After suffering from a virus he was forced to miss a game against Cambridge United in September 2009, and he recovered ahead of York's game against Kidderminster.[59] He scored his first goal for York with the only goal in a 1–0 victory over Gateshead on 24 November 2009.[58] He pulled his hamstring in a 1–0 defeat to Eastbourne on 27 February 2010 and made his return as a 64th-minute substitute in a 4–0 victory at Grays Athletic on 30 March.[60][61][62] He played in both legs of York's play-off semi-final victory over Luton Town, which finished 2–0 on aggregate.[58] He started in the 2010 Conference Premier play-off final at Wembley Stadium on 16 May, which York lost 3–1 to Oxford.[58] He finished the season with 45 appearances and one goal for York.[58]
Lawless made his first appearance of the 2010–11 season in the opening game, a 2–1 defeat to Kidderminster on 14 August 2010.[63] He scored his first goal of the season with York's second in a 3–1 victory at Tamworth on 25 September 2010.[63]
Luton Town
On 8 November 2010, Lawless joined York's Conference Premier rivals Luton Town, initially on loan, with a permanent transfer due to take place in January 2011.[64] York were reluctant to let him leave, but relented when Luton increased their original offer on three occasions.[65] He made his debut in a 1–0 defeat at Wrexham on 11 November 2010 and, in the following game, Lawless scored his first Luton goal with the winner in a 1–0 victory at Altrincham.[66] Lawless signed for Luton permanently for an undisclosed fee on a one-and-a-half-year contract on 5 January 2011.[64][67] His first appearance after signing was as a 74th-minute substitute in a 0–0 draw at Bath City on 8 January 2011.[66][68] After the departure of fellow midfielder Andy Drury to Ipswich Town in late January 2011, Lawless played a much more prominent role in a Luton team that eventually finished the 2010–11 season third in the table. He scored the opening goal, a 35-yard strike described as "superb", in Luton's 3–0 play-off semi-final first leg victory away at Wrexham.[69] He then played in the 2–1 home victory in the second leg,[66] and in the 2011 Conference Premier play-off final against AFC Wimbledon at Wembley he missed the opening penalty kick in the penalty shoot-out, which Luton lost 4–3.[70]
During the half-time break of Luton's 3–0 defeat away at his former club York on 24 September 2011, Lawless broke his hand after punching a wall out of frustration, resulting in him being ruled out for around a month and being handed a fine by his club.[71] He played in Luton's 2012 Conference Premier play-off final 2–1 defeat at Wembley, coincidentally against York, on 20 May 2012.[72] Lawless signed a one-year contract extension in July 2012, despite poor performances during the 2011–12 season making him a target for fans.[73][74]
Manager Paul Buckle praised Lawless for his "quality ... hard work and ... discipline" following his 100th appearance for the club in December 2012.[75] He scored the winning goal with a volley into the bottom corner in Luton's 1–0 victory over Championship team Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup third round on 5 January 2013,[76] and was voted as the competition's Player of the Round.[77] Lawless finished the season with 48 appearances and five goals.[78] His performances saw him voted by both Luton supporters and his teammates as the club's Player of the Season for the 2012–13 season; a marked turnaround from the previous year.[79] He signed a new two-year contract with Luton in May 2013 after having talks with two unnamed League One clubs.[80]
Lawless was sidelined with a groin injury at the beginning of the
Lawless struggled with multiple injuries during the 2014–15 season, making 15 league appearances (only six of which were starts) and scoring three goals. Despite this limited playing time, Lawless triggered a contract extension during the season to keep him at the club until the end of the 2015–16 season.[85]
On 10 May 2016, it was announced that Lawless would not have his contract renewed after making 203 appearances and scoring 22 goals for Luton since joining the club in 2010.[86][87] He left the club upon the expiry of his contract.[88]
Later career
On 29 July 2016, Lawless signed for League Two club Yeovil Town on a one-year contract.[89] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Lawless was released by Yeovil along with five other players.[90]
On 11 July 2017, Lawless signed a two-year contract with newly relegated National League club Leyton Orient.[91] He was released at the end of the 2018–19 season.[92]
Lawless signed for National League club Ebbsfleet United on 27 June 2019.[93]
