"Lukas has a strong background and he's an experienced player with high standards that's coming with a clear mentality to win," said James Merriman, Head Coach, Pacific FC. "He is a machine in the middle of the field who covers ground and has the technical ability to improve our overall control with the ball."

Browning Lagerfeld returned to Ireland to join Sligo Rovers in 2023, playing 27 times and scoring one goal for the League of Ireland Premier Division club.
