Born near Pontypridd, South Wales, Lucas spent one season playing for Bristol Rovers Central in the Midland Junior Premier League, before joining the Under-16s.

Lucas won the league and cup double for the Under-18s during the 2012-13 campaign, which subsequently earnt him a professional contract in the summer of 2013.[1]

Club career

On 21 April, Lucas made his professional debut against Rochdale towards the end of the season. He came off the bench in the 79th minute, replacing Tom Parkes.[2] Rovers lost the game 2-1, which contributed towards their eventual relegation from the Football League - the first time since their acceptance in 1920.[3]

On 8 August, Lucas joined Conference South side Weston-super-Mare on a one-month loan deal.[4] He made his debut the next day in a 1-0 defeat to Bishop's Stortford.[5] His first goal for the Seagulls came in a 3-2 victory over Farnborough on 11 August.[6] On 25 August, Lucas scored his second goal for Weston, which earnt his team a 1-0 victory over Staines Town.[7] On 5 September, Rovers agreed to extend Lucas' loan by two months.[8] He went on to score against Hemel Hempstead Town,[9] Ebbsfleet United,[10] and Maidenhead United[11] bringing his tally to five goals in 13 appearances.

On 28 November, Lucas joined Conference North side Gloucester City on loan until the new year.[12] Lucas made six appearances for the Tigers but failed to find the net.

On 12 February, Lucas returned to Weston-super-Mare on loan.[13] Lucas scored his first career hat-trick in a 4-3 win over Bishop's Stortford,[14] a performance that helped him to win Conference South player of the month for February.[15] Lucas' goalscoring form continued with a brace against Havant & Waterlooville[16] followed by goals against both Bath City[16] and Basingstoke Town[17] before his return to parent club Bristol Rovers[18] having scored seven goals in eight appearances during his second Weston-super-Mare spell.

On 7 August, Lucas signed for new National League side Boreham Wood. He made his debut the next day and scored in the 3-1 win over Halifax Town. After a couple of successful loan spells, Bristol Rovers called Lucas back. Lucas came on as a late substitute against Plymouth Argyle replacing Jermaine Easter. [19] Lucas rejoined Boreham Wood on loan until the end of the season.[20]

After an unsuccessful loan back at Boreham Wood,[21] Lucas joined fellow National League side Woking on loan until the end of the campaign.[22] On 18 March 2017, Lucas made his Woking debut in their 2–1 away defeat against Gateshead, featuring for 58 minutes before being replaced Ben Morris.[23] On 25 March 2017, Lucas scored his first goal for Woking in their 4–2 home defeat against Maidstone United.[24]

On 28 April 2017, it was announced that Lucas would leave Bristol Rovers at the end of the 2016–17 campaign upon the expiry of his current deal.[25]

On 23 May 2017, Lucas joined National League South side Bath City on a one-year deal.[26]
