Cuthbert swayed by Hatters’ ambition
New Luton Town signing Scott Cuthbert admitted it was the ambition of the club that helped seal his move to Kenilworth Road this week.
The 27-year-old became Hatters’ second acquisition of the summer on Tuesday afternoon, when it was announced he had penned a two year deal with Luton, after his contract at Leyton Orient expired.
Speaking exclusively to the News/Gazette about his decision to move, he said: “I did chat to some clubs in League One and different things maybe didn’t work out, but once again it was also the ambition.
“Did I want to go to a team who would maybe be a mid-table, bottom half of League One club?
