*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Luke Aaron Daley (born 10 November 1989) is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger. He previously played for Norwich City, Stevenage, Plymouth Argyle, Lincoln City, Braintree Town, Dartford and Chelmsford City.
Daley, who lived in Cley next the Sea, [2] was signed to Norwich after being spotted playing football for local team, Mulbarton Wanderers. After scoring four goals in six reserve team games, Daley was named as a substitute versus Stoke City in March 2008, as an 18-year-old "second-year Academy scholar". Aged 18, he was given a squad number of 39. [3]
In November 2008, Daley came to further attention, when scoring a hat trick in a 4–2 Reserves win against an Arsenal Reserves team that "featured seven players from the squad that beat Wigan Athletic in the League Cup" a week earlier. [4]
Daley made his professional debut for Norwich in a 1–1 draw against Burnley at Carrow Road on 21 February 2009 as a 78th-minute substitute for Jamie Cureton. [5] He made two further substitute appearances towards the latter stages of the 2008–09 season, [6] [7] as Norwich were relegated to League One. [8] The following season, Daley made his first starting appearance for Norwich, playing the whole game in the club's 4–1 home defeat to Sunderland in the League Cup. [9] He made a total of ten appearances for Norwich in all competitions during the 2009–10 season, as the club were promoted back to the Championship. [10] [11]
In January 2011, Daley joined League Two side Stevenage on a one-month loan deal. [12] Stevenage manager Graham Westley had previously tried to bring in Daley ahead of the 2010–11 season, but a thigh injury which had kept Daley out for a large part of the season meant any hopes of signing the player were scuppered. [13] Daley made his debut for Stevenage on 22 January 2011, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute in Stevenage's 2–0 victory against Morecambe. [14] It was to be Daley's only appearance during the first three weeks of his loan spell, appearing as an unused substitute in games against Accrington Stanley and Gillingham. [15] [16] He scored twice for Stevenage's reserve side in a 2–2 draw against Colchester United's second string on 9 February 2011. [17] Daley made two appearances during his one-month loan spell at Stevenage, before returning to his parent club on 22 February. [18]
Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Daley went on trial with League Two side Plymouth Argyle. [19] He signed for Plymouth Argyle on a permanent basis on 19 July 2011. [20] On 6 August 2011, Daley made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Shrewsbury Town. [21] On 30 August 2011, Daley scored his first goal in senior football with a long-range effort against Exeter City in the Football League Trophy. [22] On 18 February 2012, Daley scored his first league goal in a 4–0 win over Accrington Stanley. [23] At the end of the 2011–12 season, Daley was released after not being offered a new contract. [24]
Daley joined Grimsby Town on trial on 3 August 2012 and appeared in the club's final pre-season friendly against Stalybridge Celtic. [25] He joined Lincoln City on a non-contract basis on 10 August, [26] [27] and made his debut the next day in a 1–0 win against Kidderminster Harriers. [28]
In August 2015, Daley joined National League South side Chelmsford City after a successful trial. [29] In January 2018, Chelmsford manager Rod Stringer confirmed Daley had left the club and retired from football. [30]
