Martindale confident Livingston will soon complete De Lucas signing
David Martindale has revealed Livingston are closing in on the signing of Dominican Republic international defender Luiyi De Lucas.The 28-year-old has been on trial with the Lions since November following just over two years as a regular with Finnish top-flight side Haka.
De Lucas has impressed Martindale enough to earn a deal and the cinch Premiership club expect to be able to give him his debut later this month once his international clearance is finalised.
“De Lucas is in the building today,” said the Livi boss. “He’s got his English language test tomorrow and he’s got his Home Office interview next week so I’d be pretty confident that by mid-January we should have him available for first-team selection.”
Martindale, who has already signed former Hibernian winger Steven Bradley, expects De Lucas to be his final January recruit.
