[1] The son of Joël Rey, a legend of Section Paloise, he initially leaned towards football before taking up rugby union in 2004.

[3] Lucas Rey began his professional career with his home club Section Paloise on May 21, 2016, during the 24th round of the 2015–16 Top 14 season against ASM Clermont Auvergne under the guidance of Simon Mannix.

[5] On May 28, during the final day of the season against Montpellier HR, he played his hundred and fiftieth match for Section Paloise.

At the beginning of the 2023–2024 season, Rey admitted to being impacted by losing the captain's armband to Beka Gorgadze and then Luke Whitelock, in addition to the departure of his close friends Antoine Hastoy and Quentin Lespiaucq, forcing him to gain more perspective and maturity.
