João Lucas Vilela de Sousa (born 18 August 2000), known as João Lucas, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Vila Nova.

Career

[edit]

Born in Iporá, Goiás, João Lucas represented São Paulo, Vila Nova and Ituano as a youth.[1] In late 2020, after leaving the latter side amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned to his hometown and joined Iporá EC.[2]

On 10 May 2021, after impressing during the year's Campeonato Goiano, João Lucas returned to Vila and was now assigned to the main squad.[3] On 30 June, however, he was loaned to Goianésia.[4]

Upon returning, João Lucas renewed his contract with Vila Nova for two years on 11 December 2021.[5] Roughly one year later, he signed a one-year extension,[6] but was loaned to Manaus on 11 May 2023.[7]

Back to Vila in July 2023,[8] João Lucas started to feature more regularly with the first team in the following year.
