Luton boss confirms former Everton defender Galloway will pursue his career elsewhere

Hatters boss Nathan Jones has confirmed that defender Brendan Galloway will 'pursue his career elsewhere' after not being named in the Hatters 25-man Championship squad last week.

The 24-year-old's 18 month stint at Luton has been an unhappy one in terms of game time, with a serious knee injury against Brentford in November 2019, keeping him out of action for the rest of the season.

Galloway did recover to play in the 1-0 FA Cup win over Reading last month, one of only six first team appearances, as Jones looked to move the full back on during the recent transfer window, only to see a move to Shrewsbury break down.

When asked what the next steps were for the defender, Jones said: "He’s still injured at the minute so it’s been very, very frustrating for Brendan.

"It’s been a frustrating process and I don’t want to comment too much because I don’t understand what’s happened at times.

“Brendan will continue to do his rehab with us and then will find a new club in the summer.

"Obviously, he’s outside the 25, he’s not featured and he’s been very unfortunate with his injury before I came and apparently he’s not recovered those.

“We will do our due diligence with him, he’s a good kid, no problem, and then he’ll pursue his career elsewhere, when the time’s right."
