Luca Brown
Current Club
Maidstone United U18s
Centre Midfield
Standing at 6 feet 2 inches, Luca is a physically fit and strong central defensive midfielder (CDM) known for his exceptional passing range and impressive stamina. He constantly scans the field for space, ensuring he's always available as an outlet for teammates under pressure or ready to receive the ball and redistribute it as they move into more advantageous positions. Luca is comfortable playing with both feet and handles the ball confidently with his back to goal, able to turn quickly and drive at defenders. His dribbling is effective, and he's dominant in aerial duels—no ball is ever a lost cause. Defensively, he maintains a high level of intensity in pressing and is reliable in tracking his man. Even if he doesn’t win the ball immediately, he stays tight on his opponent’s touch, limiting their ability to make productive plays.
