Luke James Foster (born 8 September 1985) is a retired English professional footballer who played as a defender.
Foster started his career as a trainee with Sheffield Wednesday, signing a professional contract with the club at the age of 18. He joined Scarborough on work experience in September 2004, and was also loaned out to Conference North club Alfreton Town in February 2005 until the end of the 2004–05 season. On returning to his parent club, Foster was released, and joined Lincoln City in June 2005. He was loaned out to York City the following season on a two-month loan. In January 2007, Foster was released by Lincoln, and he joined Stalybridge Celtic on a short-term contract. He left Stalybridge a month later, in order to join Oxford United on an initial six-month deal. Foster went on to play over 100 times for Oxford in just under three years at the club, winning two end of season awards in the process.
In January 2010 Foster signed for Mansfield Town, where he spent just five months. He then joined Stevenage on a two-year contract in May 2010, helping the club earn promotion to League One in their first ever season in the Football League. After just one season at Stevenage, Foster joined Rotherham United in June 2011, spending an injury-hit season with the club before being released. He briefly spent time at Matlock Town, before joining Preston North End in December 2012 for a six-month period. Foster returned to Lincoln City during the 2013–14 season, before spending two years as club captain at Conference Premier side Southport. He left Southport in February 2016 and signed for Harrogate Town for the remainder of the campaign. A brief stint as player-coach at Ilkeston followed as Foster moved into part-time football, also playing for Northern Premier League clubs Coalville Town, Brighouse Town, Goole, Barwell and Loughborough Dynamo respectively.
