Luke Anthony Freeman (born 22 March 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger.
Freeman played at Charlton Athletic, before joining Gillingham at the age of 11. He made his first-team debut for Gillingham at the age of 15, becoming the youngest ever player to appear in the FA Cup. In January 2008, Freeman signed for Arsenal, where he played regularly for the club's under-18 and reserve teams. Ahead of the 2010–11 season, Freeman joined Yeovil Town on loan until December 2010. He returned to his parent club when his loan ended, and signed a new contract in April 2011. He was loaned out once again in November 2011, this time to League One club Stevenage on a one-and-a-half-month loan deal. Freeman played regularly during his time on loan at Stevenage, and signed for the club on a permanent basis in January 2012.
After spending three seasons at Stevenage, winning the club's Player of the Year award for the 2013–14 season, Freeman joined Bristol City in June 2014. He helped the club to Football League Trophy and League One titles during his first season with the team. Freeman spent two and a half years at Bristol City before joining Queens Park Rangers, also of the Championship, for an undisclosed fee in January 2017. He was named as the club's Player of the Year for the 2018–19 season. Freeman signed for newly promoted Premier League club Sheffield United for a club-record fee in July 2019. He spent the 2020–21 season on loan at Nottingham Forest.
