On 12 February, Lucas returned to Weston-super-Mare on loan. Lucas scored his first career hat-trick in a 4–3 win over Bishop's Stortford, a performance that helped him to win Conference South player of the month for February.

On 7 August, Lucas signed for new National League side Boreham Wood. He made his debut the next day and scored in the 3–1 win over Halifax Town.
After a couple of successful loan spells, Bristol Rovers called Lucas back. Lucas came on as a late substitute against Plymouth Argyle replacing Jermaine Easter. Lucas rejoined Boreham Wood on loan until the end of the season.
