Luke joined City as an Under-12 and is an accomplished left-footed centre back and a vocal presence on the pitch.
Following signing his scholarship in July 2020, Luke moved in to the EDS squad for 2020/21. An impressive season saw Luke help the EDS win the PL2 title and also feature in the matchday squad for the first-team on four occasions.
