Club career

edit

Zé Lucas started his career with PSTC Londrina of his hometown,[1] before moving to Fluminense in 2012. In his first year with the Laranjeiras-based side, he scored the winning goal against Botafogo to win the youth version of the Taça Guanabara. He was also top scorer in the whole state of Rio de Janeiro.[2]

He was loaned to Botafogo in 2014, and spent the whole year with the club's youth team. He went to America in 2015 to study at university and improve his English, however he was rejected a scholarship as he had already played professionally.[3] As a result of this, he remained with Fluminense, and joined Slovakian side STK Samorin on loan in 2016, and scored 6 goals as they won the 3. Liga.[1]

Following Fluminense's affiliate link with Stal Mielec in 2015, Zé Lucas was announced to have permanently joined the Polish side.[4] He made his debut in a Polish Cup game against Chojniczanka Chojnice, playing 90 minutes in a 0–2 defeat.[5]

After two league appearances, Zé Lucas returned to Brazil to join Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão side Itararé.[6]
