Luton Town summer signing Carlton Morris has admitted he didn’t need much persuading to agree to join the club from Barnsley this summer.
The 26-year-old became the Hatters’ seventh addition last week following the Tykes’ relegation.
Following the move, Morris said: “I was sold pretty easily.
“He’s [Nathan Jones] very passionate and I really like him as a character as well, which is important because it’s good to like the people you’re working with as it makes for a better working relationship and it breeds success.
“He has said about how successful teams have happy and welcoming dressing rooms, and I have found that to be the case as well in my career.
“It wasn’t a hard sell at all.”
