Luke Nightingale is a footballer for Bognor Regis Town F.C.. Having previously played for Portsmouth, Swindon,Weymouth and Southend he moved to Bognor in 2004. [1]
Luke Nightingale began his football career at the South Coast club Portsmouth F.C. at the age of 18. Having started the season in the youth team, he rapidly moved into the reserves and earned his place by repeatingly scoring goals. Nothing seemed to phase him as he consistently put the ball in the net. He proved to be a very versatile player, managing to adapt to a more central midfield role.
His first team debut came later that season as he was included in the squad to face West Bromwich Albion F.C. . Having replaced John Aloisi late in the second half, Luke scored twice to secure a 2-1 victory. [2]
He later left Portsmouth and had unsuccessful spells at Southend and Swindon. He then moved to Weymouth F.C. before signing for Bognor in the summer of 2004.
He remains one of Bognor's key players, scoring 19 goals in the 2005-2006 season.
His future at the club was uncertain but he recently put pen to paper and signed a two year contract with the 'Rocks'.
