Career

edit

Lamas' career began with Vélez Sarsfield, who loaned him out to Estudiantes.[3] In 2008, Lamas joined Almirante Brown.[4] He scored one goal, against Defensores de Belgrano on 29 September 2008, in eighteen matches during 2008–09.[1][4] San Telmo signed Lamas in June 2009, with the midfielder subsequently featuring in fifty-three fixtures and netting once across two years with the club.[1][4] Comunicaciones became Lamas' fifth club in 2011, prior to a move to Crucero del Norte.[1] They won promotion in his second year, which led to Lamas making his first appearance in the Argentine Primera División on 14 February 2015 versus Tigre.[1]

On 4 January 2016, following forty-five matches for Crucero del Norte, Lamas departed to sign for Torneo Federal A's Gimnasia y Esgrima.[1][5] His stint lasted six months, with Omar Labruna only selecting him in five matches.[1] Lamas subsequently spent the 2016–17 Primera B Metropolitana season with ex-club Estudiantes, netting goals against Fénix and Excursionistas as the club finished sixth - losing in the promotion play-offs to Lamas' old team Comunicaciones.[1] August 2017 saw Lamas join Primera B Nacional side Brown.[1] His opening appearance for them arrived in an away victory versus Almagro on 16 September.[1]
