Martin Lukov (Bulgarian: Мартин Луков; born 5 July 1993) is a Bulgarian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Lokomotiv Plovdiv and Bulgarian national football team.

Career

Dunav Ruse

Lukov joined Dunav Ruse in the summer of 2015, while the team was competing in the second division. He became a first choice goalkeeper immediately and played a crucial role during the season, as his team won the league and were promoted to the Bulgarian First League for the first time after a twenty-five year absence.[1]

After the very first fixtures of the 2016-17 season, Lukov contributed heavily under the goalpost for Dunav's surprising five wins and two draws in the first seven rounds. In the match against Beroe Stara Zagora on 18 September 2016, he became Dunav's goalkeaper with the most minutes without conceding a goal, with 456 minutes, a record previously held by Ivan Ivanov during the club's tenure in the 1963-64 A Group season.[2]

On 13 April 2017 it was confirmed that Lukov got an serious injury and would miss from play for at least 6 month and would miss the rest of 2016-17 season.[3] On 13 October 2017 was announced that Lukov will return in team trainings being completely ready to return in play. [4]

Lukov left the club in June 2018.[5]

Lokomotiv Plovdiv

On 12 June 2018, Lukov signed with Lokomotiv Plovdiv for three years.[6]

International career

In 2013 Lukov played for the Bulgarian Amateur national team - South-East Bulgaria, in the UEFA Regions' Cup.[7]

In the beginning of 2017 he received a call up for Bulgaria, but didn't join the team due to injury.[8]
