Career
Plymouth Argyle
Summerfield was born in Ivybridge, Devon and joined the Plymouth Argyle Centre of Excellence aged 10.[1][2] He made his first team debut in the last game of the 2004–05 season, a 0–0 home draw with Leicester City on 8 May 2005, entering the match as a 77th minute substitute for David Worrell.[2][3] He signed a two-year professional contract with Plymouth on 1 August 2005, before the start of the 2005–06 season.[1][2] He made two appearances in his first two seasons for Argyle (both as a substitute), once in the league and once in the League Cup. Summerfield made his debut for Argyle, as a substitute, on 8 May 2005, against Leicester City. On his first start for Argyle, against Colchester United in the Championship, on 8 August 2006, during the 2006–07 season, Summerfield scored with a long-range volley.[4] In January 2007, Summerfield was listed at number five in The Guardian's ten best prospects to watch out for in 2007.[5]

Then Plymouth Argyle manager Ian Holloway said of Summerfield that "I see Luke doing things far beyond his tender years. The boy has a fine touch, he is typical of the talent that Plymouth will produce for the future." On 20 March 2007, Summerfield signed a loan deal with League One side Bournemouth, until the end of the season. On 25 September 2009, Summerfield moved to League One side Leyton Orient on a one-month loan,[6] which was later extended to three months, before he returned to Plymouth on 19 December.
Cheltenham Town
Summerfield joined Shrewsbury Town on trial in July 2011 and played in a friendly against Manchester United, but he was not offered a contract and in August signed a one-year contract with Cheltenham Town.[7] In July 2012, he rejected a new contract with the club.
Shrewsbury Town
On 3 July 2012 almost a year after his initial trial, Summerfield rejected the contract offer from Cheltenham Town to sign for Shrewsbury Town.[8] He scored his first goal for Shrewsbury in a 3–1 FA Cup defeat versus Hereford United at Edgar Street. He was released at the end of his contract in May 2014.[9]
York City
Summerfield signed for League Two team York City on a two-year contract on 30 June 2014.[10] He made his debut in York's 1–1 away draw with Tranmere Rovers in the opening match of the 2014–15 season on 9 August 2014.[11] He left York after rejecting a new contract in May 2016.[12]
Grimsby Town
On 28 June 2016, Summerfield signed a two-year contract with newly promoted League Two club Grimsby Town on a free transfer.[13] He scored his first goal for Grimsby in a 5-2 win against Stevenage on 27 August 2016.[14]

His father, Kevin, is a former professional footballer and coach.[2]
