“We wish Luke, Craig and Isaac every success with the club in the coming years as they push for a regular place in the first team and they know that they will the continued support of everyone in the youth set-up.

“With the released boys - all of which have been a credit to themselves, their families and the club throughout their time at Luton Town - we sincerely thank them for all their efforts on and off the pitch and wish them success also in finding the progression with their football in whichever route they wish to take and we will continue to support and help them in their search for a club for next season.”
