Club career

Club Deportivo Victoria

At the age of 16, Lacayo made his professional debut on July 29, 2012 against Motagua as a substitute for Rubén Licona.[1] He was regarded by some people as heir to legendary Honduran striker Milton Tyson Núñez.[2] In May 2013 Lacayo started a trial period with English Premier League side, West Ham United.[3] In total, Lacayo scored nine goals in 23 appearances for Victoria.[4]

International career

At the age of 17, Lacayo was called up by Luis Fernando Suárez to play against Panama and Canada in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers but did not play either games.[5]

In 2013, Lacayo was called up again to play in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana[6] and in the Central American Games[7] but did not play either tournaments.

Lacayo was one of 20 players Honduras called up for the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[8]

gollark: Lisp but all syntax is brackets and all types are lists?
