Luke Anthony Williams (born 11 June 1993) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Scunthorpe United as a striker.

Career

He was born in Middlesbrough, England. He made his league debut on 28 December 2009, coming on as a substitute.[1] In doing so, Williams became the youngest Middlesbrough player in over a century, aged just 16 years and 200 days. Williams made his first Middlesbrough start against Coventry City. On 13 May 2010, it was announced that Williams had secured a professional four-year contract with Middlesbrough.[2] He scored his first goal for Middlesbrough on 21 August 2012, a long range goal in the 88th minute in a 3–2 win against Burnley.[3] He scored his second goal for Middlesbrough on 15 September, in a 2–0 win against Ipswich Town.[4]

On 23 January 2014, Williams joined Hartlepool United on a one-month loan deal,[5] playing a central-attacking midfield role.

On 23 October 2014, despite interest from Chelsea manager, José Mourinho, who was reported to have said "sometimes it's as if the ball is glued to his feet", Williams signed for Scunthorpe United on a one-month loan deal. He made his debut against Notts County.[6]

On 2 July 2015, Williams completed a permanent move to Scunthorpe for an undisclosed fee.[7]

International career

He made his England under-17 debut on 26 October 2009, in a 6–2 win against Kazakhstan.[8] He made his under-19 debut on 2 September 2010, in a 2–0 win against Slovakia.[9] He scored his first goal on 2 June 2011, in a 3–2 win against Switzerland during 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualification.[10] On 28 May 2013, he was named in manager Peter Taylor's 21-man squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[11] He scored on his debut on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay.[12] He also scored in the opening group-stage game on 23 June against Iraq.[13]
