Career

Coming through the youth ranks at Crystal Palace, he signed his first professional contract in December 2015. On 10 September 2017, he made his debut as a substitute against Burnley in the Premier League, playing the final 25 minutes of a 1–0 away loss as a substitute for Lee Chung-yong. [4]

On 31 August 2018, Lumeka signed for National League side Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season. [5] He was recalled from the loan on 9 January 2019 having made only one appearance for Orient, [6] as an added-time replacement for Jobi McAnuff in a 3–0 home win over Solihull Moors on 4 September. [7]

On 20 June 2019, Lumeka joined LigaPro side Varzim S.C. on a two-year deal. [8] [9] He made his debut on 10 August in the first game of the season, a goalless home draw with U.D. 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]

On 25 January 2022, Lumeka returned to Portugal to join Vilafranquense on loan until the end of the season. [12]

In August 2023, he agreed to mutually terminate his contract with Troyes. [13]

On 23 December 2023, Lumeka joined Oxford City. [14]

Personal life

Born in England, Lumeka is of Congolese descent. [15] 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. [16]
