He made his first appearance in Luton’s first game back in the Football League at Carlisle, with Luke’s first Luton goal coming during a 2-0 win at home to Oxford. Luke fell out of favour at Kenilworth Road under Nathan Jones, and in January 2016 he was sold to Stevenage, where he made over a century of appearances. Following Stevenage, Luke went on to play for Yeovil and Woking.
