William Daniel "Billy" Lumley (born 28 December 1989) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.

Career

Born in Loughton, Essex,[1] Lumley started his career as a youth player at Wolverhampton Wanderers, before joining the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain following his release in 2008.[2] Glenn Hoddle commented on the player saying; "Billy impressed me as a goalkeeper with his all-round ability during the selection process" and "he not only demonstrated his vision and shot stopping prowess, but also his willingness to learn, something critical to his future success".[2]

In July 2009, he joined Brentford on trial,[3] although was not offered a contract.[4] Alongside eight other players, Lumley joined Conference National side Grays Athletic on 5 August 2009,[5] before joining Conference North team Stafford Rangers.[6] He had an unsuccessful trial at Swansea City in November 2009,[7][8] before joining Northampton Town on non-contract terms on 23 December.[9] Northampton manager, Ian Sampson claimed that Lumley was interesting a number of clubs and tried to sign him before he joined Wolves.[10] He made his Football League debut on 20 February 2010 for Northampton Town in the 3–2 away loss to Crewe Alexandra.[11]

Lumley joined Conference South club Eastleigh in March 2010,[12] making his debut against St Albans City on 6 March.[13] His last game for Eastleigh was the 2–0 defeat to Woking on 5 April 2010.

The following season, 2010–11, Lumley had a short spell at Isthmian League Premier Division club Billericay Town before moving to Jerez Industrial.[14] In 18 appearances for Jerez he conceded 18 goals.[15]

In August 2011, he signed for Maidenhead United.[16]

In August 2013, Lumley had been released by mutual consent because he didn't want to fight for a first team spot with new signing Elvijs Putnins.[17]
