  ## Football career
  
  Born in Montevideo, Lamas started playing professionally with local Defensor Sporting Club, remaining three seasons with the side. In 2007, he joined MKE Ankaragücü in Turkey, helping his team to the eight place in the Süper Lig but being used mostly as a backup.
  
  Afterwards, Lamas moved to Spain and signed for Recreativo de Huelva. He made his La Liga debut on 28 September 2008, playing six minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Andalusia neighbours UD Almería, and again was played sparingly throughout the campaign, with his club eventually being relegated.
  
  On 22 July 2009, Lamas moved to UD Las Palmas in the second division, in a season-long loan. He subsequently returned to Recre, continuing to compete in the Spanish second level but also being sidelined for almost two years after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
