Krul 'buzzing' to have made his Luton debut after signing from Norwich City

New Luton keeper Tim Krul was elated to make his Hatters debut during Tuesday night’s 3-2 Carabao Cup victory over Gillingham at Kenilworth Road.

The 35-year-old Dutchman was signed by boss Rob Edwards from Norwich City recently to provide competition for current number one Thomas Kaminski and was given a chance to show just what he can do against the League Two Gills.

After a quiet first period, Krul was then beaten by Jayden Clarke's close range shot early in the second half, before making a vital save when Ashley Nadesan got the better of Amari’i Bell.

Late on, he couldn’t quite keep out Tom Nichols’ header despite his best efforts, but did make a crucial stop in injury time to prevent Jonny Williams forcing penalties.

On his maiden outing and a 415th club appearance of his career, which include stints at Newcastle, Brighton, AZ Alkmaar, Ajax, Carlisle and Falkirk, Krul tweeted: “Buzzing to have made my debut last night and thank you for the welcome this week.

"Good win and into the hat for the next round. @LutonTown #caraboacup.”
