LUKE CUNDLE
Full Name: Luke James Cundle
Born: 26 April 2002

Appearances: 27 (16/11) Goals: 5
Cundle, born in Warrington in April 2002, came through the Wolverhampton Wanderers youth system to make his senior debut at the age of 17 in a League Cup tie against Reading. Two months prior to that, he had impressed during the club's pre-season tour and featured against Manchester City in the final of the Premier League Asia Trophy, a game that saw the Midlands side run out as winners.
A couple of late substitute appearances in cup matches during the 2021-22 season preceded a Premier League bow, which came in January 2022 as he again came off the bench against Southampton. He earned a full debut a month later in a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur.
In August 2022, Cundle joined Swansea City on a season long loan, where the attacking midfielder impressed making 34 appearances (12 as a substitute) and scoring three times. His first senior goal came in September 2022 when he found the net in a 3-0 victory over Hull City at the Liberty Stadium.
In August 2023, Cundle joined Argyle on a season-long loan from Molineux, taking the opportunity to ply his trade in the Championship for a second successive season. He made his debut for the Pilgrims against Leyton Orient in the first round of the League Cup, with his league debut following four days later against Watford at Vicarage Road. His first Argyle goal came against Premier League opponents, Crystal Palace, also in the League Cup, a strike which saw a run of four consecutive starts for the 21-year-old. In early January 2024, Cundle was recalled by parent club, Wolves, bringing to an end his short stay at Home Park, where he notched up 27 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals, the last of which came in his final Argyle appearance against Sutton United in the FA Cup.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Wolves' recall was short-lived. A few days later he was re-united with Steven Schumacher at Championship rivals Stoke City, on loan for the rest of the season, just three weeks after the Argyle manager had left Home Park to take charge at the Staffordshire club.
