Then Plymouth Argyle manager Ian Holloway said of Summerfield that "I see Luke doing things far beyond his tender years. The boy has a fine touch, he is typical of the talent that Plymouth will produce for the future."[citation needed] On 20 March 2007, Summerfield signed a loan deal with League One club AFC Bournemouth until the end of the season.[citation needed] On 25 September 2009, Summerfield moved to League One club Leyton Orient on a one-month loan,[8] which was later extended to three months, before he returned to Plymouth on 19 December.[citation needed]
