Zane Banton (born 6 June 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two club Luton Town.
Born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Banton became a first-year scholar at Luton Town in July 2012, having previously been at Watford. During his first year as a scholar, he scored 16 goals for the under-18 team as they finished third in the Youth Alliance South East Conference. The following season, Banton signed a professional contract on 19 September 2013 until May 2015. He made his first-team debut aged 17 as an 85th-minute substitute for Andre Gray in a 4–0 win over Woking on 24 September. His first start came on 30 November in a 0–0 draw with Staines Town in the FA Trophy first round, before being substituted in the 60th minute. On 5 March, Banton joined Conference South club Concord Rangers on a one-month loan. At the time, Luton manager John Still said he hoped Banton's loan spell would help to aid his development and "might push him on a little bit". He debuted two days later in a 3–2 win over Eastleigh and completed the loan spell with three appearances.
At the beginning of the 2014–15 season, Banton joined Southern League Premier Division club Biggleswade Town on a three-month loan deal. He made his debut a day later as a 69th-minute substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Chippenham Town. Banton scored his first goal for Biggleswade in a 4–1 win over Dorchester Town on 23 August 2014. He added a second goal to his Biggleswade tally in a 1–0 win over Burnham on 9 September. Banton scored in three consecutive matches in all competitions from September to October and made his final appearance for Biggleswade in a 3–3 draw with Slough Town on 28 October. He finished the loan spell with six goals from 21 appearances. Banton was recalled from his loan at Biggleswade on 31 October, and joined Conference South club Hemel Hempstead Town later that day on loan until 29 November. He debuted in a 1–0 win over Bromley on 11 November. Banton made four further appearances in all competitions and scored the winning goal in a 2–1 win over Truro City in the FA Trophy third qualifying round on 29 November. He rejoined Hemel Hempstead Town on loan until the end of the season at the beginning of January 2015.
