So Clayton Lewis is a no go?

Not until January at least, the transfer window is closed so only the guys who were free agents on the 15th October can be signed.

He's back in the UK.

This regarding Iron U23s who were to play midweek, but had their game verus Grimsby Town U23s postponed.

"Clayton Lewis is now back from international duty with New Zealand Under-23s too, so comes into contention."

To me it's looked from the outside like a player keen to return to NZ, and a club prepared to let him go.

He's missed about 8 League Two games whilst away with the NZ U23s in Australia & Fiji. Bit odd that Iron were happy for that to happen, when they have been struggling at the bottom of the Football Leagues.

Nix had a look at him in preseason in NSW. His girlfriend now back in NZ.

But maybe Nix just not interested, or them and Scun-thorpe couldn't agree on dollars - given Lewis still has time to run on his contract in the UK?

Now that pricey Hooper is confirmed, Welnix are probably reluctant to spend funds on a "nice to have", rather than "must have" player. Fair enough if so.
