His highest achievement with Amatieris was earning bronze medals in the Latvian Higher League in 1929.
[2] Lauks was one of the most reliable defenders in Latvian football of his era and he was called up to the national team a few times in 1926 and 1927, capping three matches in total.
When Lauks was already aged over thirty and his football career was presumably near its end he moved to RFK[3] and made a sudden comeback.
Lauks played in the last international match for Latvia before its loss of independence on 18 July 1940, he was aged 38 at the time.
After World War II Lauks ended up in Germany where he continued playing football until the age of 46.
