Victoria Hotspurs F.C. is proud to announce another major signing ahead of the new season as we welcome Luke Tabone to the club.

Luke needs no introduction. The 28-year-old Gozitan defender has enjoyed an impressive footballing journey, earning a reputation as one of Gozo’s finest talents.

He began his career with Nadur Youngsters, where his quality, determination and leadership were evident from a young age. His performances soon earned him a move to Gżira United, where he competed in the Malta Premier League, consistently demonstrating his defensive qualities at the highest level. During his time with Gżira, Luke’s performances were also rewarded with a call-up to the Malta National Team.

Luke later continued his football career in the United Kingdom, representing Haverfordwest, Southport, and Bury, further enhancing his experience in competitive football.

Standing at 1.93 metres, Luke combines physical presence with excellent defensive ability, composure on the ball and valuable experience. We are confident that his qualities will be instrumental in strengthening our defence and helping the team achieve its ambitions this season.

We are extremely proud to welcome Luke to the Hotspurs family and equally proud to add another outstanding Gozitan talent to our squad.

Welcome to Victoria Hotspurs, Luke! We cannot wait to see you wearing the Red Shirt and giving everything for the badge.
