Career



Early career


Luer had played non-League football for Hove Rivervale, Whitehawk and Eastbourne Borough, before he was spotted playing Isthmian League football for Burgess Hill Town by Hull scout Dean White.[5][6] Burgess manager Ian Chapman handed him his debut at age 17, and recommended him to his former club Brighton & Hove Albion.[7]


Hull City


He was signed by Premier League club Hull City in January 2015.[8] Later that month he was loaned out to League One side Port Vale.[9] He made his debut in the English Football League at Vale Park on 7 February, coming on for Richard Duffy 86 minutes into a 2–2 draw with Bradford City.[10] He returned to Hull after only one further substitute appearance.[11]

Luer made his debut for Hull City on the opening day of the 2015–16 season when he came on as a substitute for Chuba Akpom in a 2–0 win over Huddersfield Town at the KC Stadium.[12] He scored his first goal for the "Tigers" in the League Cup on 11 August, scoring in a 2–2 draw with Accrington Stanley, and then went on to convert the opening penalty of Hull's subsequent penalty shoot-out victory.[13] He scored the only goal of the following round two weeks later to take Hull through at home to Rochdale.[14]

On 9 February 2016, Luer moved to League One side Scunthorpe United on a month-long loan spell.[15] He made one start and three substitute appearances for the "Iron", before returning to Hull City despite reports that Scunthorpe manager Nick Daws was looking to extend the loan deal.[16] On 12 March 2016, Luer moved on a month-long loan to League Two side Stevenage.[17] He impressed in his first five games for the club and the loan deal was extended until the end of the 2015–16 season.[18] He made one appearance during the 2016–17 season, playing the first 57 minutes of a 3–1 victory over Exeter City in the EFL Cup second round before he was sidelined with a knee injury picked up during the game.[19]

Speaking in January 2018, Luer said that the arrival of new manager Nigel Adkins had given him a fresh start at the club, as he made a cameo appearance in Adkins's first game in charge and went on to score a hat-trick for the reserves.[20] On 19 March 2018, Luer moved on loan to National League side Maidstone United until the end of the 2017–18 season.[21] He was released by Hull at the end of the 2017–18 season.[22]


Woking


On 14 July 2018, Luer signed with National League South club Woking after impressing manager Alan Dowson over a trial period.[23] On 7 August 2018, Luer made his Woking debut during their 2–1 home victory over St Albans City, featuring for 72 minutes before being replaced by Paul Hodges.[24] A month later, he went onto score his first goal for the club during a 1–1 draw with Concord Rangers, opening the scoring in the 29th minute.[25] Following a slow start, with only one goal in fourteen league games, Luer went onto net Woking's third in a 3–1 home win over rivals, Hampton & Richmond Borough and scored a hat-trick in their reverse fixture six days later.[26][27] He ended the 2018–19 season with nine goals in 39 appearances, though was not in the matchday squad as the "Cardinals" secured promotion with victory over Welling United in the play-off final.[28]


Eastbourne Borough


On 19 June 2019, Luer rejoined Eastbourne Borough; "Sports" manager Lee Bradbury admitted he tried to sign Luer whilst manager of Havant & Waterlooville in the previous season.[29] He scored 11 goals in 38 appearances during the 2019–20 season and scored five goals in 22 games in the 2020–21 season.[30] Both campaigns were ended early due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England.[31] He made 43 appearances in the 2021–22 campaign, scoring six goals, featuring once in the play-offs as a substitute.[30][32] He agreed a new contract in the summer.[33]
