Darlington FC has wished Love Island bombshell Luke Trotman luck as he enters the swanky villa in South Africa.
Winter Love Island may only be a week in, but things are already heating up - not least for the addition of new bombshell contestant, Luke Trotman.
Viewers were treated to a brief clip at the end of Wednesday (January 22) night's episode, which introduced *two* Lukes.
Now, Trotman's football club, Darlington FC, has shared a message of support for their defender.
Posting on their official website, Luke's club wrote: "Best of luck, Luke!"
They explained that Trotman's decision to appear on the hit ITV2 show had been discussed with the club, before providing additional information about the semi-pro footballer.
"Player of the season in 2018-19 Luke, who is sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury for the rest of this season, has the full backing and full support of the club," they wrote.
The post continued: "The possibility of Luke appearing on Love Island was discussed by Luke and club representatives, and he is doing rehab on the island under physio instruction.
"He has also had a gym access and a programme to continue rehab. We would like to wish Luke the best of luck in his adventure."
The star has previously mentioned his injury on Instagram, sharing a picture of himself lying in a hospital bed last August with his thumbs up.
In the caption, Trotman wrote: "Successful Operation, Road to recovery starts now. Swipe to see me eating hospital food while the surgeon tells me it’s 7-9 months before I’m back playing."
A few days later, Trotman posted a pic of him with crutches after her operation, with the caption: "Stay focused through adversity."
Winter Love Island air daily, apart from on Saturdays, at 9pm on ITV2.
