Luton snap up Crawley midfielder Dance

The 24-year-old, who was in the stands as Hatters went down 3-0 to TNS on Sunday afternoon, has penned a two-year deal, subject to a medical.

Dance, who started his career at Birmingham City, left St Andrews to move to Kettering and played against Luton in Town’s 3-1 win last season.

A string of good performances saw the midfielder snapped up by Conference champions Crawley Town in January, where he played seven games, scoring one goal.

Hatters boss Gary Brabin said: “I’m obviously delighted to welcome James to Kenilworth Road.

“Skilful, very good on the ball, direct, quick and a great taker of set pieces, James will be a fine addition our squad and gives further competition for places in the attacking positions.

“The fact we’ve beaten off a number of clubs for his signature speaks volumes.”
