[edit] Club career
Pantelis signed for Adelaide United for the inugral A-League season where he played 18 games scoring once. He missed almost the entire 2006-07 season with a serious knee injury though returned to competitive action for United during their 2007 Asian Champions League campaign where he played in four games. After an excellent 2007-08 season at Adelaide, many rumours arose about a possible transfer to Melbourne Victory however, he quashed these rumours when he signed a new deal with Adelaide United in January 2008 keeping him at the club until 2010.[1]
On 19 November it was revealed that Lucus reinjured his left knee, the same one that kept him out of the 2006-07 season.[2] He made his comeback game on 9 January 2009 against Newcastle Jets at Hindmarsh Stadium in which Lucas scored the second goal in the 2-0 win and came off in the 81st minute.[3] On 15 May 2011 it was confirmed that he had signed a two year contract with Hyundai A-League side Wellington Phoenix.[4]
