Luton bolster backroom staff by bringing in ex-West Ham and Stoke City analyst

Luton Town have bolstered their backroom staff with the appointment of Jack Lamb-Wilson as head of analysis, as he links up with Hatters manager Jack Wilshere for the second time in his career.

The pair worked together at West Ham between 2018-20, when Wilshere was a player, having moved to his boyhood club from Arsenal, and Lamb-Wilson was in what was a five-year spell as performance and post-match analyst at the London Stadium. Previous to that, he had gained valuable Premier League experience during a year as first team performance analysis intern at Cardiff City, then spending two years as first team assistant performance analyst at Stoke City.

Lamb-Wilson arrives at Kenilworth Road to head up a department that already has Chloe Golding, who is now in her second season with the Hatters, as performance analysis assistant. Speaking to the club’s official website about his appointment, Wilshere said: “Jack is someone whose understanding of the game and players is elite level.

"I got to know him really well at West Ham, where I spent quite a bit of time out injured and started to learn about other aspects of football. He came in to help out in the build-up to the Northampton game, with Chloe working tirelessly on her own for the period before that. After three wins in as many matches, I’m so pleased to be able to make him a permanent addition to the staff.”

Meanwhile, there have been two departures from Kenilworth Road as well, with a club statement saying: “While we offer a warm Luton welcome to Jack, departing Kenilworth Road in recent days have been head of medical Danny Murphy and club doctor, Hasan Iqbal, who have both chosen to pursue opportunities away from football. We thank both Danny and Hasan for their valuable contributions during their time at the club and wish them the best of luck for their future careers.”
