Career

Lugo started off his senior career with a three-year spell with local side Lanús, making the first of twenty-eight appearances on 1 March 2009 during a win away to Gimnasia y Esgrima.[3][4] He was loaned out on two occasions, to Atlanta for 2011–12 and to Unión Santa Fe for 2012–13.[3] He featured a total of sixteen times for those aforementioned clubs.[3] On 23 January 2013, Lugo joined Unión Mar del Plata of Torneo Argentino A.[3] Six appearances followed.[3] Six months after signing, Lugo was on the move again as he agreed to join Paraguayan Primera División side Rubio Ñu.[3] He scored on his sixth appearance versus Guaraní.[3][5]

In his first three seasons with Rubio Ñu, Lugo scored fourteen goals in seventy-six encounters.[3][6] For the 2016 and 2017 campaigns, he was loaned back to the Argentine Primera División.[3] In January 2016, San Martín temporarily signed Lugo.[3] He returned to Rubio Ñu after the 2016–17 Argentine Primera División season, making twenty-three appearances as the club finished 22nd.[3][7] To conclude 2017, Lugo had a short spell with Temperley.[3][8] On 18 January 2018, Belgrano became Lugo's eighth career club.[3][9] He appeared in nine fixtures for Belgrano.[3]
