Luton Town have announced the signing of English winger Andros Townsend on a short-term contract until January 2024.
Townsend will wear the number 30 for Luton, and has said “I feel like its a good fit and these last couple of weeks have been good for both parties” when speaking on his move to the Hatters.
He believes he can help the team, and the manager has seen where Townsend can help the side. Another reason that may have helped his decision to join the Hatters is the fact that Luton is his local team, stating that he “lives 20-25 minutes away” so he has kept up with their progress over the years.
Welcome @andros_townsend! ??
