Watch: Ħamrun Spartans complete transfer coup with the signing of former Hibs forward Villela

The Spanish forward established himself as a prolific goalscorer in his previous spell in Malta with Hibernians.

Ħamrun Spartans have completed a major transfer coup with the capture of Brazilian forward Lucas Villela.

The Spanish forward is not a new face to Maltese football as last season he made a name for himself with Hibernians.

After helping the Paolites to win the FA Trophy in 2025, last season he he managed to finish as the league top scorer with 11 goals from 15 appearances.

However, his stint with the Paola club was cut short in January when the Spanish forward was signed by Kuwaiti club Al-Fahaheel.

For Villela, his experience at Hibernians, during which he helped them to win the FA Trophy, was his first outside Portuguese football, where he spent the majority of his career.

But now he is set to return to Maltese football with the intent of re-establishing himself as one of the best forwards in the championship.

At Ħamrun Spartans, Villela will be looking to help the team leave their mark in European football when they compete in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, while also re-establishing themselves at the top of Maltese football.
