Club career

edit

Born in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Lucas Nathan represented SEV Hortolândia, Bragantino and Red Bull Brasil as a youth. He made his senior debut with the latter in the 2018 Copa Paulista, scoring once in ten appearances.

Lucas Nathan moved to Grêmio Osasco ahead of the 2019 season, but was presented at Caldense on 4 April of that year.[1] Despite spending the 2019 Série D without a single appearance, he became a regular starter in the 2020 campaign.

On 3 March 2021, Lucas Nathan joined Coritiba on loan until the end of the year, with a buyout clause.[2][3] On 7 July, after being rarely used, he moved to Ituano also in a temporary deal,[4] and helped the club in their 2021 Série C winning campaign.

On 2 December 2022, still owned by Caldense, Lucas Nathan was announced at Portuguesa.[5]
