Discussing the return of Nathan Jones to the club, Hatters skipper revealed how the announcement was made, and said: “The whole squad was on a Zoom call and I think it was Gary Sweet (chief executive) speaking just about the return to football and putting the protocols in place.
“All of a sudden Gary said: ‘I just want to introduce you to your new manager.’ It (Zoom) said 'Nathan Jones has joined the chat' and I put my camera away, I had a smile on my face, I was laughing and it was just a bit unexpected.
“No-one really knew about it and it was a shock. At the same time, there was excitement there because we knew what that meant for the squad. There’s been no looking back since that moment.
“We’ve pushed on, Nathan’s come in and we finished strong and stayed up, then this season we’ve gone to a new level. But yeah, it was funny and it made me laugh.
“We’re coming back and the gaffer doesn’t stand still. He wants to push on and, with that ambition and that character, we can certainly do that.”
