This box-to-box midfielder has been nurtured by Jez George since the pair first worked ogether when Luke was only eleven.

After excelling with his creative running and outstanding work- rate since he signed a scholarship in 2008, Jez's first act in caretaker charge was to bring Luke into the first team.

Ending last season with fourteen appearances, all from the start of February, he was awarded Young Player of the Season by the Club's fans. He scored once, a dramatic and hugely valuable stoppage time equaliser at Southport, and the faith placed in him was apparent when he signed a three year professional contract at the end of last season.
