Pablo de Lucas Torres (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpaβlo ðe ˈlukas ˈtores]; born 20 September 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly as a defensive midfielder.
Club career
De Lucas was born in Elche, Province of Alicante. He was a product of Sporting de Gijón's prolific youth system, Mareo,[1] and made his first-team debut on 4 September 2005, playing three minutes in a 4–0 away win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona; the club was then in the Segunda División.[2]
De Lucas' first goal would come during the 2007–08 season, in a 2–1 away victory over Albacete Balompié.[3] He contributed 12 games as the Asturians returned to La Liga after a ten-year absence.[4]
In early January 2009, de Lucas moved on loan to Deportivo Alavés,[5] not being able to help prevent the Basque side's relegation to Segunda División B. He moved to the same tier in September, signing with lowly Villajoyosa CF.[6]
De Lucas spent the following years of his career in the third tier in representation of several teams,[7][8] scoring on his debut for Rayo Vallecano B on 30 August 2010 from a last-minute penalty in a 1–1 draw with Universidad de Las Palmas CF.[9] In the summer of 2013, he moved abroad for the first time, joining FC Petrolul Ploiești in Romania.[10]
On 7 August 2014, de Lucas scored his team's third goal against FC Viktoria Plzeň, contributing to 4–1 away win in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League (5–2 on aggregate).[11] In the following years he continued abroad, representing in quick succession Beitar Jerusalem FC,[12] FC Viitorul Constanța,[13] Xanthi FC,[14] FC Voluntari (two spells)[15][16] and FC Argeș Pitești.[17]
