Lakusta played at the youth level with FSC Bukovyna Chernivtsi.[1][2][3] He transitioned into the senior team in 2008 where he played for two seasons in the Ukrainian Second League.[4][5] In 2012, he departed from Bukovyna in order to sign with Nyva Ternopil.[2][6] He would appear in 27 matches and scored 4 goals in his debut season with Ternopil.[7] After a single season with the club, he was released from his contract.[8]

Lakusta was linked to a possible return to his former club Bukovyna where he ultimately rejected the offer.[9] He instead secured a deal with Dynamo Khmelnytskyi and would remain in the third tier.[10][11][12] Following his brief stint with Dynamo, he returned to his former club Bukovyna for the 204-15 season in the Ukrainian First League.[13][14][15] In his debut season in the second tier, he appeared in 3 matches.[7]

He returned to the third tier the next season to sign with Veres Rivne.[16][17] Lakusta had another run in the second tier the following season with Mykolaiv.[18][19] In his second stint in the league, he appeared in 6 matches.[7] After the conclusion of the season, he mutually departed from Mykolaiv.[20]

Canada

[edit]

He went abroad in the summer of 2017, to play in the Canadian Soccer League with FC Vorkuta.[21][22][23] In his debut season with Vorkuta, he assisted the club in securing the First Division title.[24] In the postseason the club was eliminated in the second round by Scarborough SC.[25] Through an injury, he missed the majority of the season.[26]

Lakusta re-signed with the club for the 2018 season.[27] Once more he aided the team in securing a playoff berth by finishing second in the division.[28] In the postseason, Vorkuta successfully secured the CSL Championship by defeating Scarborough in a penalty shootout.[29]
