History
The club was founded after the dissolution of Lorca Atlético in 2012, by supporters who did not support La Hoya Lorca CF, as this team was based in the hamlet of La Hoya.
In its first season, despite being registered in Segunda Autonómica, the seventh division, it played one level above after filling a vacant place. After two promotions in three seasons, Lorca Deportiva made its debut in Tercera División in 2015. The club won the league but could not achieve promotion to Segunda División B. But it the next season the club finally managed to promote to the next category, Segunda División B.[3]
In the 2018–19 season the club finished 2nd in the Group 13 of the Tercera División, but failed to promote to Segunda División B in the promotion playoffs.[4] On July 11, 2019 Iván Urbano was appointed the new head coach of the club.[5]
