Club career

[edit]

Born in Tapejara, Rio Grande do Sul, Lucas started his professional career in 2002, as he signed a five-year contract with Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense. After a short spell with Clube Atlético Mineiro, he moved back to Grêmio.

In July 2006, following a trial period, Lucas agreed on a one-year deal with Spain's RC Celta de Vigo.[1] However, in only his second La Liga match, a 2–1 away win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona, he was severely injured with a broken leg,[2] going on to miss the rest of the season as the Galicians dropped down a level.[3]

Lucas returned to his country in July 2009, penning a one-year contract with Santos FC.[4] He moved abroad again in the following seasons, joining S.C. Braga in Portugal;[5] in late January 2011, however, in the following transfer window, he left the club without having appeared in competitive games, and returned to his country with Avaí Futebol Clube.[6]

On 21 June 2011, Lucas was released by the team which sat at the bottom of the league table,[7] eventually being relegated from the Série A. He went on to represent several sides in the following years, appearing for Sport Club do Recife and América Futebol Clube (RN) in the Série B.[8][9][10][11][12][13]

In January 2017, shortly after leaving Vila Nova Futebol Clube, the 32-year-old Lucas became a players agent and also opened a barbecue restaurant in Belém. He nonetheless expressed a desire to continue playing.[14]
