'''Luke Matthew Daniels''' (born 5 January 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for {{English football updater|Barrow}} club Barrow, where he also serves as goalkeeper coach.
Daniels is product of the Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion academies and played much of the early years of his career away on loan from the latter club. He transferred to League One club Scunthorpe United in 2015 and served as first-choice goalkeeper until 2017, when he transferred to Championship club Brentford. Daniels held a backup role until transferring across the division to Middlesbrough in 2021. Following a two-year spell during which he appeared sparingly, Daniels dropped two divisions to transfer to Forest Green Rovers in 2023. He played one further season before retiring in 2024. Daniels won three caps for England at U18 and U19 level.
