Loan deals are all made permanent

Trio Alex Lawless, Charlie Henry and Jason Walker are officially Hatters players this week after completing their permanent deals with the club, writes Mike Simmonds.

The triumvirate had been on loan at Kenilworth Road previously, but when the transfer window opened on January 1, they were able to seal their moves. Walker has already netted twice, including on his debut, while Lawless scored the winners at Altrincham and Welling United, but Henry has yet to feature having been sidelined with a foot injury.

Midfielder Adam Murray has completed his permanent switch from Hatters to Mansfield Town, signing a deal until June 2012.

The 29-year-old made just seven appearances for Luton and was delighted with the switch. He said: “I am over the moon to have finally sorted this deal and I want to give everything to ensure this club is back where it belongs.”

Meanwhile, young midfielder Adam Watkins has extended his loan at Zamaretto League Division One Central side Arlesey Town for another month.

Bad weather had restricted the teenager to just one substitute appearance, but he netted his first goal in a 2-2 draw at Biggleswade Town on Monday.
