Club career[edit]

Flora[edit]

Luts began playing football at Flora youth academy in Paide. He made his Flora – and Meistriliiga – debut on 4 October 2008, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute for Sergei Mošnikov in a 1–1 draw against Tallinna Kalev at A. Le Coq Arena. Luts scored his first Meistriliiga goal on 1 November 2008, in a 4–2 home win over TVMK. In July 2009, he joined Tulevik on loan until the end of the season.

Luts became a regular starter for Flora in the 2010 season, in which he scored 6 goals in 31 games and won his first Meistriliiga title.[2] He won his second Meistriliiga title in the 2011 season.[3]

IFK Norrköping[edit]

On 22 January 2013, Luts signed a two-year contract with Allsvenskan club IFK Norrköping.[4] On 4 April 2013, his missed penalty in the shoout-out against Djurgårdens IF saw IFK Norrköping eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2012–13 Svenska Cupen. Luts made his debut in the Allsvenskan on 8 April 2013, in a 2–1 home victory over Gefle IF.[5] He made 13 league appearances in the 2013 season. After missing first half of the season due to injury, Luts was released by the club in June 2014.[6]

Levadia[edit]

On 16 January 2015, Luts signed a one-year contract with Meistriliiga club Levadia.[7][8] He made his debut for Levadia on 3 March 2015, against Santos in the Estonian Supercup, winning the match 5–0.[9]

Bohemians 1905[edit]

On 25 July 2016, Luts signed a two-year contract with Czech First League club Bohemians 1905.[10] He made his debut in the Czech First League on 31 July 2016, in a 0–3 home loss to Hradec Králové.[11]

Teplice[edit]

On 23 May 2018, it was announced that Luts would join Czech First League club Teplice after the 2017–18 season on a two-year deal.[12]

Paide Linnameeskond[edit]

On 19 July 2019, Luts signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Paide Linnameeskond.[13]


International career[edit]

Luts began his youth career in 2007 with the Estonia under-19 team. He also represented the under-21, and under-23 national sides.

Luts made his senior international debut for Estonia on 17 November 2010, replacing Tarmo Kink in the 76th minute of a 1–1 home draw against Liechtenstein in a friendly.[14] His first goal for Estonia on 7 June 2014, in a 2–1 friendly victory over Tajikistan, brought him the Estonian Silverball award for the best goal scored for the national team in 2014.[15][16]

On 28 March 2017, Luts scored his second international goal after just 58 seconds in a 3–0 friendly victory over Croatia.[17]
