Former Luton Town defender James Justin has hailed Nathan Jones following his England debut over the weekend.
The full-back joined the Hatters as a 7-year-old before making his senior debut against Exeter City in 2016.
Justin secured a regular place in the starting line-up during the 2018-19 campaign and made 43 appearances in League One - scoring three goals and assisting another seven.
Justin’s exceptional form earned him a move to the Premier League with Leicester City and he has since found himself fighting for a seat on the plane to Qatar this winter.
After spending 14 years with Luton, the defender has praised Jones.
Speaking to TalkSPORT, he said: “Nathan Jones was unbelievable.
“He was one of the first people to text me after he found out the news and had a little chat with him, he was so proud of me.
“What he did for me as a player, he took me from just being okay to being in the Luton first team to wanting more, and just pushing me and pushing me every day and I can only thank him for that really.”
