Club career
Born in Yoro, Lozano made his debut in the Honduran top division at the age of only 15, appearing for Club Deportivo Olimpia against Club Deportivo y Social Vida on 11 January 2009. On 21 February 2010 he scored his first goals, netting a hat-trick in the Clausura tournament 6–0 win against C.D. Victoria.
In August 2010, Lozano spent time training with Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team, impressing manager Harry Redknapp. He was expected to stay with the North London side, but the deal never went through because he was underage and, therefore, could not sign a contract with a professional club.
On 11 August 2011, Lozano moved to Spain and signed with Valencia CF on a one-year loan, but was immediately loaned to neighbouring side CD Alcoyano, in Segunda División. He made his official debut against UD Las Palmas on 3 September, as a second-half substitute (0–1 away loss).
Lozano spent the 2012–13 season with Valencia's B-team, in Segunda División B. In the 2013 summer, after being released, he returned to his first club Olimpia.
Lozano was Olimpia's topscorer in the 2014–15 campaign, contributing with 26 goals in 38 games. On 6 August 2015 he returned to Spain and its second tier, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with CD Tenerife, which was extended on 9 July of the following year.
On 7 July 2017, an agreement between FC Barcelona and Olimpia for Lozano was confirmed by the latter club's Vice President, Osman Madrid.
International career
Lozano scored 11 goals for the Honduras under-17s, including four in the 2009 CONCACAF Championship which qualified the national team to that year's FIFA U-17 World Cup, where he netted in the 1–3 loss against Germany. He made his senior debut in August 2011, coming on as a substitute for Carlo Costly (who scored both goals in the 2–0 win) in a friendly win over Venezuela.
Lozano also represented the country at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics. He scored twice in the latter tournament, helping the nation to the semi-finals in Brazil.
