Marcelo Lomba (born December 18, 1986 in Rio de Janeiro), is a Brazilian goalkeeper. He currently plays for Bahia, on loan from Flamengo.^[1]

Career

In 2006, Lomba had his first chance in the professional team, but only in 2008, in a Rio de Janeiro State League derby match against Vasco da Gama on April 6, 2008, he had played his first official match for the club, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Despite this first chance, Lomba didn't have much space as he was, at that time, the squad's third goalkeeper after Diego and Bruno.

In 2010, with the departure of Diego for Ceará, the young archer became the team's second keeper, and gradually established himself as a starter after Bruno had left the club due to criminal issues.

For the 2011 season Flamengo loaned Lomba to Brazilian Série B club Ponte Preta to get more first team experience.^[2] But due to contractual problems he couldn't be loaned and returned to Flamengo.

After few more months training with Flamengo, Lomba has been loaned to Bahia until May 2012.
