Oliveirense in which he replaced Felipe Augusto with 14 minutes left, and scored his first career goal on 30 October to equalise in a 1–1 draw at C.D. Nacional. [10]
On 28 July 2020, Lumeka joined Ligue 2 side Troyes AC on a four-year deal. [11]

Born in England, Lumeka is of Congolese descent. [16] Lumeka said in August 2020 that he probably wouldn't turn down a call up from DR Congo, but still holds out hope of earning an England call up at some point in the future. [17]
