Born in Romford, England, Lennon joined Charlton Athletic's academy and once captained the U18 squad. In December 2012, Lennon signed his first professional contract at the club. [3] One year later in December, Lennon signed a new contract with the club, which will keep him until June 2016. [4]

Lennon made his first team debut for Charlton Athletic in the 1–0 FA Cup fourth round away win against Huddersfield Town, where he came on as a substitute for Cedric Evina in the first half. [5] His performance left the away Charlton's supporters very impressed. [6] After this, Lennon made his league debut for the club on 28 January 2014, however he could not prevent Charlton losing 3–0 to Doncaster Rovers. [7]

On 22 July 2014 Lennon joined Cambridge United on loan until 3 January 2015, [8] but was recalled to Charlton on 31 October 2014 after making only two league appearances for Cambridge and one Football League Trophy start. [9]

On 27 November 2014, Lennon joined Gillingham on a youth loan deal. [10] After three matches as an un-used substitute, Lennon made his Gillingham debut, playing 90 minutes, in a 2–1 win over Colchester United on 26 December 2014. [11] After making two appearances for the club, Lennon made his return to his parent club in January 2015. [12]

On 2 October 2015, Lennon re-joined Gillingham on a one-month youth loan deal. [13] Subsequently, the loan was extended until 12 December 2015. [14] On 20 November 2015, Lennon returned to Charlton Athletic and signed a new two and a half year contract. He became a regular in the side playing in the Championship. [15]
