Daniel Lucas Segovia (born 23 May 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Austrian club SKN St. Pölten as a striker.

Football career

Born in Madrid, Lucas finished his formation with local Rayo Vallecano, first appearing with the main squad during the 2004–05 season, in Segunda División B. Released in June 2006, he went on to resume his career in that level but also in Tercera División, representing CF Fuenlabrada, Algeciras CF, Real Zaragoza B, CA Pinto, UB Conquense and Atlético Baleares.

In the 2010 summer Lucas moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Austrian Football First League club SKN St. Pölten. On 12 July 2011 he played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 home loss against WAC St. Andrä; he finished his first season abroad with 17 goals, ranking third in the league's scoring charts.

After one and a half years Lucas changed teams but stayed in Austria, signing for Bundesliga's FC Admira Wacker Mödling. He made his debut in the competition on 16 February 2013 in a 1–2 home defeat to SC Wiener Neustadt, where he featured 36 minutes from the bench.[1] On 13 April, now as a starter, he scored his first goals for his new team, netting twice in a 4–3 win against FC Wacker Innsbruck.[2]

On 26 May 2013 Lucas scored the game's only goal at SV Mattersburg, in the last matchday, helping Admira leapfrog its opponent to finish in ninth position and thus barely avoid relegation.[3] In the off-season, he transferred to fellow top-divisioner Wolfsberger AC.
