[11] [12] Justin was called up to the under-18 team as an under-16 due to injuries to other players, playing at right-back despite being a central midfielder. [11] Following his breakthrough into the under-18 team, Justin also played regularly for the club's development squad that ended 2014–15 as champions of the Central League Southern Division. [11] [13] Justin signed his first professional contract on 4 November 2015 which contracted him to the club until the end of 2016–17. [11] He was named in the matchday squad for the first time on 19 December, remaining an unused substitute in Luton's 3–2 win away to Exeter City. [3] [14] Justin was a member of the under-18 team that won the Youth Alliance South East title and the Youth Alliance Cup in 2015–16, [15] [16] [17] and also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup, in which they lost 1–0 to Blackburn Rovers. [16] [18] He made his professional debut as an 83rd-minute substitute for Stephen O'Donnell in a 4–1 win at home to Exeter City on the final day of 2015–16. [19]

[29] However, he recovered in time to play against Blackpool in the play-off semi-final, and started in both legs of the 6–5 aggregate defeat. [30] [31] Justin finished the season with 39 appearances and one goal. [22]

On 12 July 2017, Luton rejected a bid of £1 million for Justin from Championship club Nottingham Forest. [32] Later that month, Justin signed a contract extension with Luton until 2020, with the option of a further year. [33] Justin returned from the England under-19 training camp with a hamstring injury, and subsequently missed the first few matches of the 2017–18 season. [34] His first match of the season came in a 2–2 draw to Tottenham Hotspur under-21s in the EFL Trophy on 15 August. [35] On 14 October, Justin made his first league start and scored his first goal of the season in a 7–1 win over Stevenage.

Justin started the season opener in a 1–0 defeat to Portsmouth on 4 August 2018. [35] Justin initially struggled for play-time again, making only two league starts by October in midfield due to competition from fellow full-backs Jack Stacey and Dan Potts. [38] However, Potts suffered a groin injury in a 2–0 win over Walsall on 20 October, with Justin tasked to replace him. [39] He regained his team in the starting eleven following Potts' injury, with Justin stating, "Then whenever my opportunity came, this year it came through unfortunate circumstances with Pottsy getting injured, but I feel like I've taken my chance well." [40] He won the November EFL Young Player of the Month after making 4 appearances and scoring twice that month. [41] As a mainstay in the squad, he finished the season with 52 appearances and three goals. [42] Luton had also achieved back-to-back promotions, this time finishing as champions of League One. [43] Justin won the Luton Young Player of the Season again, [44] and was also named in the PFA League One Team of the Year and nominated for the Young Player of the Season.

[56] In total, he made 18 appearances and scored once in his debut season for Leicester. [51]
