Lemos struggled with injuries during his time at Compos, appearing in 19 matches and scoring one goal.[4] On 17 July 2015 he joined CD Lugo in Segunda División, after agreeing to a three-year deal.[5]

On 9 September 2015 Lemos made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for David Ferreiro in a 1–0 away win against Córdoba CF, for the season's Copa del Rey.[6] On 27 January of the following year he was handed a professional deal, being assigned the no. 14 jersey.[7]

On 5 July 2016, Lemos signed a five-year deal with La Liga side Celta de Vigo.[8]
