Luca was seen smiling for a snap in a tight-fitting zip-up shirt, as she posed alongside a football field for the announcement.
The TV star had played at Saltdean United prior to his villa stint, playing for an under-23 side under current Hailsham boss Luke Carter.
Luke reacted to the signing in a follow-up tweet, writing: “The boy was on fire for me last season before going on loan to the villa for the summer!”
It comes after Luca appeared on popular footballing TV show Soccer AM – where he showed off his skills with former footballer Jimmy Bullard.
It’s not the only new venture for the Love Island star – who has also started his own YouTube channel named The Bish N Chips Show.
Luca, who recently made his relationship with Gemma official with a lavish display of affection, is trying his hand at being a YouTube star.
He promoted his new vlogger account, which already has more than 5,000 subscribers, on his Instagram page.
It’s unclear what content he will be broadcasting or in what style, yet his first promotional image shows him perched in a cafe stirring a brew.
Elsewhere, Luca and Gemma teased they had signed up with another hit reality TV show on their social media.
Dressage rider Gemma shared a picture from inside the UK headquarters of TV and film production company Paramount.
The firm’s streaming service, Paramount Plus, screens MTV’s The Challenge, and fans think the programme might be the Love Island runners-up’s next project.

Writing on a fan forum, one supporter said: “I’m guessing it’s The Challenge. From MTV. Paramount owns it now and Love island USA people are on it. I think they keep saying this season they are competing for an international Season or something like that.”
Another agreed, writing: “The Challenge maybe? I think Paramount has that now and Love Island USA people are on it.”
