KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — One Knoxville SC on Wednesday announced it has signed 26-year-old forward Lucas Meek.

A dynamic and versatile attacker, Meek brings energy, experience and goal-scoring pedigree to Knoxville as the club makes a strong push for playoff positioning. A University of Washington product and former MLS SuperDraft pick by Inter Miami CF, Meek joins One Knox following a standout stint with Australian side Manly United FC of the National Premier Leagues NSW.

Meek developed his game at the collegiate level at Washington, where he helped lead the Huskies to multiple NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament appearances and earned All-Pac-12 honors. 

After being selected by Miami with the 37th overall pick in MLS SuperDraft 2022, Meek made his professional debut in 2023, appearing in 25 matches for Inter Miami CF II during the 2023 MLS NEXT Pro season. Meek was an unused substitute in Inter Miami's 3-2 victory against Sporting Kansas City during the 2023 MLS season.

Meek spent the 2024 campaign with Central League side Western Suburbs FC in New Zealand. In 25 matches this season for Manly United, Meek scored seven goals and provided one assist.

"I've scouted Lucas for many years since his days at the University of Washington," said Knoxville head coach Ian Fuller. "He's a great person with a fantastic work rate, ability on the ball and a desire to score a goal. We can't wait for Lucas to play a massive role for One Knox."

"I'm so excited to be a part of this club," said Meek. "Hopefully, goals will come and lots of smiles and fun will follow."
