Luke Webb (born 12 September 1986 in Nottingham) is an English footballer who currently plays for Hereford United as a midfielder.
He signed for Arsenal at the age of 11 and progressed through the various youth teams. He was a regular for Arsenal U18s with 20 appearances and 2 goals in the 2004-05 season. With opportunities hard to come by he left Highbury and had a trial with Wycombe, where he injured his ankle, before joining Coventry City for the 2005-06 season. His opportunities were again limited to reserve team football and he had a trial for Hereford prior to the current season. Despite a hamstring injury he impressed at Edgar Street and was signed in September 2006.
He made his first team debut away to Wrexham, coming on as a substitute in the 1-0 defeat. On 21 November he started and scored in the 2-0 win in the FA Cup over Shrewsbury, following it up with a spectacular opening goal against Port Vale in the Second Round. In the final matches of the season, Luke forced his way into the starting XI after the injury to loanee Steve Jennings.
Luke's father is the former England midfielder Neil Webb. His brother Josh is also a footballer, currently at Reading.
