Recruited from Port Adelaide in the SANFL, he was taken with pick 70 in the 2002 draft and won a Rising Star nomination in 2003 as he played every game, including Collingwood’s losing grand final to Brisbane Lions. <br />
<br />
Best known for his dash off half back and long left-foot kicks into the forward line, he was used as a forward at times and he booted 20 AFL goals including 14 in 18 games in 2004. <br />
<br />
After being delisted at the end of the 2005 season, Lokan returned to Alberton Oval to play for Port Adelaide in the SANFL. <br />
<br />
He finished with 112 SANFL games for the Magpies and then spent two seasons as the playing coach of the Belconnen Magpies in the North East Australian Football League. <br />
<br />
Following the termination of [[Nick Stevens|Nick Stevens']] tenure, Lokan was appointed in January 2015 to coach Glenelg Football Club. He coached Glenelg between 2015 and 2017, finishing 9th (4 wins), 7th (6 wins) and 7th (8 wins). <br />
<br />
Lokan then chose to take up an appointment at the end of 2017 as coach of the Port Adelaide Magpies on a three-year contract. Thus he came to Glenelg when there was short time to appoint a coach, and he left Glenelg leaving the club with a short time to appoint a coach. Luckily the incoming coach was [[Mark Stone]]: in a further twist of fate, Lokan was coach of the Port Adelaide Magpies side which lost the [[Grand Final 2019|2019 Grand Final]] to Stone's Glenelg side.<br />
