Luke David Ayling (born August 25, 1991 in Lambeth , London ) is an English football player who has been under contract with the second division Leeds United since August 2016 .

Ayling is considered a versatile player. He mainly occupies the position of right full-back on the field of play, but can also fill the positions of center-back, outside center felder and defensive midfielder.

After he went through the youth academy of Arsenal FC , but was not used for the professionals, he moved to Yeovil Town in a loan shop in March 2010 . This committed him to the end of the season and he played there for four years. After a two-year stay with Bristol City , he finally moved to his current club Leeds United in 2016.

At the age of 10, Ayling joined the youth academy of the London club Arsenal , although he describes himself as a supporter of city rivals Chelsea . In the youth teams of the Gunners , he played side by side with later Premier League players Jack Wilshere and Kyle Bartley . He was an important part of the Arsenal team, which won the Premier Academy League and the FA Youth Cup , the double in the 2008/09 season. He and Bartley formed an almost insurmountable defense. After the successful season he was rewarded with his first professional contract. In the UEFA Champions League game against Olympiacos on December 9, 2009, he was appointed to the first-team squad for the first and only time. In the 0-1 away defeat, he was ultimately not substituted on. Ayling only made three appearances in the season with the reserve team, so his future with the Gunners was uncertain.

Yeovil Town

In March 2010, Luke Ayling moved to the Football League One club Yeovil Town for a month in a loan deal . On April 2, 2010, he made his debut in professional football when he came in the 0-0 draw against Southend United in the closing stages for Keiran Murtagh . On April 14, 2010, Ayling's loan contract was extended to the end of the 2009/10 season. In the 0-1 defeat in the last game of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion , he was the first time in the starting lineup of the Glovers . During his loan, he came on four appearances for Yeovil.

Ayling finally left Arsenal in June 2010 after his contract expired. On June 30, 2010, Ayling signed a permanent contract with Yeovil Town. He made his debut on August 7, 2010 in a 2-1 home win over Leyton Orient . Shortly after his arrival, the young defender became an important part of the Yeovils starting line-up, who got into the relegation battle early this season, but ended up being 14th in midfield. In his first season 2010/11 he came on 39 missions in which he collected eleven yellow and two yellow-red cards.

The relegation concerns of the Somerset club continued in the following season 2011/12 , in which Ayling only missed two of the 44 league games. On January 21, 2012, he prepared both goals for his team in the 3-2 defeat by Bury . This season, Yeovil placed 17th.

In the following season 2012/13 you surprisingly classified 4th place for the playoffs, which you could win. Ayling played both semi-finals against Sheffield United and the final against Brentford FC at Wembley Stadium for the full duration. With 47 season appearances, he was an important part of the successful Yeovils season, which was crowned with promotion to the second-rate Football League Championship .

On March 18, 2014, he also scored his first league goal for Yeovil Town when he was able to equalize the 3: 3 final score in the 95th minute tie against Wigan Athletic . Just eleven days later, he met again in the 1: 4 home defeat against FC Barnsley . Despite these goals, Yeovil Town held the Red Lantern in the league table since the second half of the season and ended up relegated to League One after a season in the championship. Ayling then did not extend his expiring contract and left Yeovil Town at the end of the 2013/14 season after four years and 184 missions.

Bristol City

With Bristol he won the Football League Trophy on March 22, 2015 with a 2-0 final win against FC Walsall .

Four days they made it to the Football League Championship in a 6-0 victory at Bradford City . In this game, Ayling also scored one of his four goals this season.
