Luc Castaignos(born 27 September 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a striker.
On 7 August 2017, Castaignos returned to the Netherlands to join Vitesse on a season-long loan. It came after when Sporting CP expected the player to leave in the summer.
He made his debut for the club, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute, in a 4–1 win against NAC Breda in the opening game of the season. Since joining Vitesse, Castaignos found his playing time, coming on from the substitute bench and competed with Tim Matavž over the first choice striker role. He spoke out about his place in the first team, saying: "I had to be patient, waited a long time. But everything is happening as it should happen. In moments like this I have to take my chance."Castaignos then scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–0 win against Excelsior on 9 September 2017. However, he suffered a concussion in a match against Zulte Waregem in the UEFA Europa League match on 2 November 2017 and was substituted in the 35th minute, as the club lost 2–0. After missing one match, Castaignos returned to the first team from injury, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute, in a 4–2 loss against FC Groningen on 19 November 2017. Three weeks later on 7 December 2017, he scored his second goal for Vitesse, in a 1–0 win against OGC Nice in the UEFA Europa League Group Stage. After going two months without scoring, Castaignos finally scored his third goal for the club, in a 2–1 loss against Excelsior on 17 February 2018. He played in both legs of the play-off against FC Utrecht and helped Vitesse win 5–3 on aggregate to qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season. At the end of the 2017–18 season, Castaignos went on to make 36 appearances and scoring three times in all competitions. Following this, he returned to his parent club.
