Early life
Playing career
Club
He began his career with Parramatta Eagles before moving into the Central Coast Mariners' youth team. On 9 February 2011, Duke made his senior debut for the Mariners and also scored his first goal in a 3–1 win over Gold Coast United.[1]
On 24 January 2012 it was announced he had signed his first senior contract signing a two-year contract with Central Coast Mariners.[2]
In August 2013, Duke had a two-week trial with English Premier League side West Ham United.[3]
In the 2012/13 season, Duke scored 6 goals from 21 games. In the 2013/14 season he wasn't as prolific, scoring 3 goals in 29 games. In the 2014/15 season, he had 3 goals from 15 games.[4] The decrease in goals can be attributed to Duke being played increasingly on the right wing by coach Phil Moss rather than the centre forward position he began his career playing.
On 9 February 2015, Duke announced that he was flying to Japan to complete a move to Shimizu S-Pulse.[5] In April 2016, Duke suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, ruling him out of football for at least six months.[6]
International
Duke was first named in the Socceroos squad in July 2013, for the 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup.[7] Duke made his debut in the first game of the tournament in a draw with South Korea.[8] He scored his first international goal in the next match, a 3–2 loss to Japan.[9] Duke scored again in the following match which Australia lost 4–3 to China.[10]
Duke next played for the Socceroos in a friendly loss to Brazil, in Brasília.[11]
