Jayden Joshua Luker (born 30 April 2005) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Grimsby Town, on loan from EFL Championship side Luton Town.
Career
editBorn 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]
