Lennox has joined Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers on a season-long loan from Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen. The 23-year old made his debut for Rovers in August against St Mirren but tore his hamstring in the next match against Dunfermline Athletic.

The injury has kept the keeper out for the past two months but he is now back to full fitness and pushing hard for a return.

Lennox, who spent four years with QPR after arriving in the UK as a teenager before he signed for Aberdeen, told FourFourTwo he jumped at the chance to go out on loan.

“I first got a call about the possibility of going out on loan to Raith from the Aberdeen goalkeeper coach while I was on holiday,” he said.

“I replied straight back that I really wanted to go so I could get some match experience under my belt to help me grow and experience and since I joined them at the start of the season I am loving the atmosphere at the club and the support that it gets.

“The club has been fantastic and welcoming. I felt as though I settled in very quickly and have
received a lot of support both on and off the park to help in this.

“When we do fan days and different events where we get to meet the fans they have been fantastic and it shows a great club culture and support.
The coaching from the staff has been great as well and I am really enjoying it.”

Raith Rovers started the season well, with three victories in its first three games, but since then club has won just twice in its past seven matches. It currently sits in fourth spot on the ladder, four points behind league leaders Hibernian.

“We got off to a great start this season and unfortunately we have had a minor run of results that have not been in our favour,” Lennox said.

“I don't see this continuing and can see us getting back into winning ways very soon and once we gain a bit of momentum I think we will do really well in the league.

“Playing the two matches and two wins were great especially the one against Dunfermline where the support was outstanding.

“Unfortunately I tore my hamstring during the match and had to grit my teeth together for 70 minutes of pain [but it] was well worth it to get the result and clean sheet against Dunfermline who are Raith’s biggest rivals.”

Lennox, who hails from Sydney, has returned to training and was on the bench for the Scottish outfit’s 4-2 win over Falkirk. The goalkeeper, who came through the AIS football program and has represented Australia at Under-17, Under-20 and Under-23 levels, escaped unscathed from a reserve team fixture.

Lennox is hoping more senior game-time in Scotland will elevate him back into the frame for national honours.

“My personal goals are to solidify myself as the first choice keeper and get a consistent run of matches where I can help the team to climb the league table and push for promotion,” he said.

“I want to get as many matches and try to also get on the radar of the Australian squad. Playing for the Olyroos and other Australian teams have been the highlight of my career and It is the biggest honour to represent my country.”

Lennox describes the standard of the football in the Scottish Championship as very underrated.

“Some of the players in the league have played at the highest levels and it is very physical and competitive,” he said.

“I am really enjoying that aspect of it and with so much as stake in terms of promotion and relegation it makes every match important.”
