Hatters chief disappointed after failing to agree terms with LuaLua
Luton boss Graeme Jones couldn’t hide his disappointment at not being able to agree a new contract with attacker Kazenga LuaLua.
The former Newcastle, Brighton and Sunderland winger revealed on social media yesterday that he was leaving Kenilworth Road after talks over extending his stay had broken down.
Speaking after today's 3-1 friendly win at Welwyn Garden City, Jones said: “Kaz has got history with the club, everyone respected him, but he was my kind of player.
“I’ve seen him at Burton Albion, I knew he was quality, as I’ve seen him play for Brighton many times.
“I spoke to Kaz yesterday, had an hour with him, I enjoyed his company.
