Hatters submit 23-man squad list to EFL for Championship campaign

Luton Town have submitted their squad list until January to the EFL following the closure of the summer transfer window.

The Hatters named 23 players out of the 25 they are allowed to register, with no space for Andros Townsend, as the winger continues to wait for his move to Turkish Süper Lig side Antalyaspor to officially go through, while club captain Tom Lockyer also hasn’t been included despite being back at the Brache to take the next step of his rehabilitation from the cardiac arrest he suffered at AFC Bournemouth in December of last year.

With U21 players not having to be named, then Town, who will see new signing Lasmine Fanne join that age group when he arrives permanently from Swedish side AIK in January, still have two places available if they wish to bring in a free agent. A statement on the club’s official website said: “Following the closure of the summer transfer window, 23 players aged over 21 have been selected to represent the Hatters for the remainder of this year in the Championship.

"Reuell Walters, Joe Johnson, Zack Nelson and Jameson Horlick – who have featured in the squad so far this season – are all aged under 21 and therefore do not need to be listed, while Tom Lockyer is not named as the club captain continues his rehabilitation with individual work at The Brache.”

Full squad list: James Shea, Amari’i Bell, Mads Andersen, Mark McGuinness, Tom Krauß, Carlton Morris, Cauley Woodrow, Elijah Adebayo, Marvelous Nakamba, Tahith Chong, Teden Mengi, Reece Burke, Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, Jordan Clark, Jacob Brown, Liam Walsh, Tim Krul, Thomas Kaminski, Joe Taylor, Shandon Baptiste, Daiki Hashioka, Tom Holmes, Alfie Doughty.
