Luke, a forward, came to Footscray from Phillip Island. He played 13 of his 18 career games in 1937 and kicked at least two goals in each of his home and away season appearances that year. His final season tally, 44 goals, was enough to top Footscray's goal-kicking. He spent much of the 1939 season playing for Yarraville and transferred to Gippsland club Morwell the following year, as captain-coach.
