Levi Jeremiah Lumeka (born 5 September 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Oxford City.
Coming through the youth ranks at Crystal Palace, he signed his first professional contract in December 2015. On 10 September 2017, he made his debut as a substitute against Burnley in the Premier League, playing the final 25 minutes of a 1–0 away loss as a substitute for Lee Chung-yong.[4]
On 31 August 2018, Lumeka signed for National League side Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[5] He was recalled from the loan on 9 January 2019 having made only one appearance for Orient,[6] as an added-time replacement for Jobi McAnuff in a 3–0 home win over Solihull Moors on 4 September.[7]
On 20 June 2019, Lumeka joined LigaPro side Varzim S.C. on a two-year deal.[8] [9] He made his debut on 10 August in the first game of the season, a goalless home draw with U.D. Oliveirense in which he replaced Felipe Augusto with 14 minutes left, and scored his first career goal on 30 October to equalise in a 1–1 draw at C.D. Nacional.[10]
On 28 July 2020, Lumeka joined Ligue 2 side Troyes AC on a four-year deal.[11]
On 25 January 2022, Lumeka returned to Portugal to join Vilafranquense on loan until the end of the season.[12]
In August 2023, he agreed to mutually terminate his contract with Troyes.[13]
On 23 December 2023, Lumeka joined Oxford City.[14]
Born in England, Lumeka is of Congolese descent.[15] Lumeka said in August 2020 that he probably wouldn't turn down a call up from DR Congo, but still holds out hope of earning an England call up at some point in the future.[16]
