Signed from MK Dons Luke learned his trade at Gillingham predominantly as a right back. His versatility is just what we need given the budget this term, with the dogged and determined ball winner adept at fullback, wing-back or as an orthodox right or central midfielder.   Not the most creative player the centre is his strongest, and by his own admission, favoured position.

 

You feel Luke could complement Ali Fuseini in a decent midfield pairing, just as he did when Josh O’Keefe found himself hitting his purple patch. That coincided with that 5 match streak that all but saved our Lincolnshire bacon last term.  The trouble is Carayol like any winger, for all his undeniable ability going forward, can be something of a liability when it comes to a counter attack as most out and out wingers are. Luke however offers a bit of protection for his full back and combines well with an overlapping full back from either a central or wide midfield role.

It has been a busy last three months for Luke. On 28 January 2011 he had his contract with MK Dons terminated by mutual consent and joined the Imps until the end of the season. Last week he was one of just three squad players to be offered a new one year contract.  His one and only goal was not enough to help us avoid a 2-4 defeat to rivals Barnet, a defeat that would prove crucial at the end of the season.  Lets hope your luck changes Luke.

 

 

Well played you earned that new contract in all honesty and your traits could be invaluable in a season of readjustment and financial limitations
