He appeared (and started) in 15 of the Jackals’ 16 regular season games in his debut MLR season, delivering 164 tackles and helping them achieve their first win in club history, a 14-11 victory over the Toronto Arrows.
Lucas Bur was the 1000th player entered into our database, and on 19th October 2023 the Dallas Jackals announced the return of Lucas Bur for the 2024 MLR Season, where he started all 13 of his games that season, completing over 130 tackles as the Jackals qualified for the post-season for the first time in their history. Bur started for the Jackals in their nailbiting Western Conference Final defeat to the Seattle Seawolves.
On September 2nd, 2024, shortly before the Dallas Jackals announced their withdrawal from MLR, the Sitav Rugby Lyons in the Italian domestic league announced the signing of Lucas Bur for their 2024/25 Serie A Elite Campaign. Bur declared for the subsequent dispersal draft following the withdrawal of the Jackals, and was selected 13th overall by Rugby FC LA, who confirmed his signing on December 9th, 2024 alongside fellow Jackal Vaughen Isaacs.
