Hatters duo sign new contracts

Luton Town have announced both striker Danny Hylton and midfielder Luke Berry have signed new contracts to remain at Kenilworth Road.

The popular duo have been a major part of the club’s rise up the EFL and played key roles in ensuring another campaign in the second tier during the closing stages of the extended season.

Hylton, who arrived as part of a double signing from Oxford United in the summer of 2016, alongside Johnny Mullins, featured in all nine games when the season resumed, after barely featuring under previous boss Graeme Jones.

The 31-year-old has netted 58 times in 129 games for the club, enjoying back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship in that time.

Meanwhile Berry, 28, signed from Cambridge United in August 2017, also had a big part to play in the Hatters staying up, starting the final five games, and scoring in the 1-1 draw with his former side Barnsley.

He has now netted 12 times in 88 appearances for the club, and on the new deals, manager Nathan Jones said: “We are absolutely delighted to secure two big players for us in Danny and Luke.

“We recruited them both always with the Championship in mind.

"We knew they’d be big players at the level we signed them, but we always knew they could handle the step up.

"They’ve both proved that. They are big characters and they’ve earned their crack at the Championship.

“They are a big part of what we’ve achieved over the past four years, massive in creating a good environment and also to how we have played, and we want that to continue.”
