Born in Alegrete, Rio Grande do Sul, Lucas began his career in the state with Santa Cruz in 2010.[1] He then played for TSW Pegasus FC, where he was twice Hong Kong league runner-up, and once a domestic cup finalist.[1] After that he moved to Moldova's FC Dacia Chișinău, and in 2013 transferred to another team in their league, FC Milsami. He left the club when they were in fifth position.[2]
Lucas signed for Scottish club Hamilton Academical on a one-year contract on 30 January 2015.[2] He made his debut in the Scottish Premiership on 22 February, replacing Martin Canning for the last seven minutes of a 4–0 defeat away to league leaders Celtic.[3] On 16 May he scored his first goal for the club, heading in Ali Crawford's corner to open an eventual 2–1 loss away to Ross County.[4] After breaking into the first-team he extended his contract with the club in May 2015, until the end of the 2015–16 season.[5][6]
