Career

Born in Peckham, Luker came through the academy at Lambeth Tigers playing at under 7 to under 16 level, [3] before signing for Luton Town in July 2022, after impressing whilst playing against them for the Pro Direct Academy in the previous campaign. [3]

In January 2023, Luker was named on the first team bench for the first time during an FA Cup Third Round tie against Wigan Athletic, [4] which came about after some impressive displays in the Hatters academy and after he'd started all three of Luton’s FA Youth Cup games. [5]

On 23 November 2023, after featuring on the bench as an unused substiute on four occasions during the 2023–24 campaign, Luker signed a new contract with The Hatters of an undisclosed length. [6]

In January 2024, Luker joined National League side Woking on loan until the end of the season, [5] and after making 17 appearances for The Cardinals, scoring twice; Luker returned to parent club, Luton Town at the conclusion of the loan. [2]

On 30 August 2024, after featuring in pre-season friendlies for Luton Town, Luker was loaned out again, this time to League Two side Grimsby Town; however he'll link up with The Mariners after completing his rehabilitation from a minor injury picked up during pre-season. [7] Luker made his first appearance for Grimsby on 8 October 2024, starting in the 2–1 loss to Lincoln City in the EFL Trophy Group Stage. [8] His first league appearance came as a substitute in the 3–1 home loss to MK Dons on 26 October 2024. [9] He scored his first league goal in the 5–2 home victory over Accrington Stanley on 3 December 2024 scoring from the edge of the box. [10]
