Club career

Early career

As a youngster growing up in native Ghana, Lumor Agbenyenu played in the Wassaman Utd schools and was an international for Ghana youngsters. In July 2014, Lumor finally had the opportunity of going to European football when he was loaned to FC Porto, playing for a season in the Junior team.

Portimonense move and loan to 1860 Munich

In the following season after impressing in the junior teams of Porto, he was loaned again to Portimonense[1] and eventually in February 2016 exerted the option to buy the rights of the young left back.[2] In January 2017 he was loaned to 1860 Munich[3] of the 2. Bundesliga, where he played regularly, but at the end of the season he returned to Portimonense after making his debut in Ghana's main national team.

Sporting CP

In January 2018, when Lumor was being negotiated by PSV Eindhoven, Sporting CP anticipated and secured the contest of the Ghanaian player, securing 50% of the economic rights of his pass for 2.5 million with the possibility of acquiring in the future another 30% for a value stipulated in €1 million.[4] Lumor signed a long-term contract with Sporting CP, with the goal of replacing the Argentinian Jonathan Silva that had been loaned to AS Roma.

Aris

On 30 July 2021, Lumor joined Aris on a two-year deal.[7]

Málaga

On 19 October 2022, he returned to Spain after signing a one-year contract with Málaga in Segunda División, after a trial period.[8] He had his contract terminated by the club due to "disciplinary reasons" the following 15 March, after just three matches.[9]
