Luciano da Rocha Neves (born 5 May 1993), simply known as Luciano, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club CD Leganés, on loan from Corinthians.
Club career
Luciano was born in Anápolis, Goiás, and joined Atlético Goianiense's youth setup from hometown club Anápolis.[1] He made his debut for the former on 8 March 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute for William in a 1–0 away win against Gurupi, for the year's Copa do Brasil.[2]
Luciano made his Série A debut on 13 October 2012, coming from the bench and scoring the last in a 3–1 home win against Internacional.[3] He contributed with five league appearances during the campaign, suffering team relegation.
In 2013 Luciano moved to Avaí in the Série B. He again made his debut with a goal, netting his team's only in a 1–3 loss at Chapecoense.
On 13 February 2014, Luciano signed a three-year contract with Corinthians in the top level.[4] He made his debut for the club nine days later, replacing Romarinho in a 3–2 Campeonato Paulista home win against Rio Claro.
Luciano subsequently scored two braces for Timão, in a 3–0 home win against Comercial and in a 4–0 away routing of Linense. On 22 August 2014 he scored a hat-trick in a 5–2 home success over Goiás.
On 19 August 2015, in a match against Santos for the national cup, Luciano suffered a serious knee injury.[5] He was sidelined for seven months, returning to action in February of the following year.[6]
On 24 August 2016, Luciano was loaned to La Liga side CD Leganés for one year, with a buyout clause.[7]
International career
Luciano was called for the Brazil U23 team representing the country at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada.[8] He was the tournament's top goalscorer with five goals in only four matches, and won a Bronze medal.[9]
