Luke David Berry (born 12 July 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Charlton Athletic.
Born in Cambridge, was in Cambridge United's youth setup before making the step up to the first team squad in July 2009.
On 29 July 2014, Berry signed for Barnsley, who were newly relegated into League One on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[3] He made his Football League debut in their 1–0 opening day defeat at home to Crawley Town, in which he was substituted for Nana Boakye-Yiadom in the 78th minute.[4] Berry scored his first goal for Barnsley in a Football League Trophy tie against Oldham Athletic on 7 October 2014, which they lost 4–2 in a penalty shoot-out after the match finished as a 2–2 draw. He scored his first league goal with a stoppage time equaliser in a 1–1 draw at home to Peterborough United on 18 April 2015.[5]
On 15 June 2015, Berry re-signed for Cambridge United on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[6] He scored four goals in their 4–0 win at home to Coventry City in the FA Cup second round on 4 December 2016, ensuring their progression to the third round.[7]
On 25 August 2017, Berry signed for League Two rivals Luton Town on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee, with the option of a further year.[8] He helped the club gain promotion to League One in his first season, followed by winning the Championship in his second season and finally the EFL Championship playoffs in 2023,[9] whilst scoring for Luton in all three of the lower leagues.
Berry scored in a 1–1 home draw against Nottingham Forest on 16 March 2024, making him the first player to score for Luton in all of the top four divisions of English football.[10] On 24 May 2024, it was announced Berry would be leaving the club after Luton chose not to exercise the one-year extension in his contract in order to allow him to gain first-team opportunities elsewhere.[11]
On 17 June 2024, it was confirmed that Berry would join League One side Charlton Athletic on a two-year deal with the option of another year when his contract at Luton Town expired on 1 July 2024.[12]
