Luton's Championship rivals Reading have signed former Liverpool, Newcastle United and West Ham forward Andy Carroll on a short term deal.
The 32-year-old, who has also been capped nine times by England, scoring twice, was put pen to paper on a contract which will run until mid-January 2022 at the Madesjki Stadium this afternoon.
Carroll had been out of contract since leaving Newcastle in the summer following a campaign in which he netted once in 22 appearances for the Magpies.
Town visit the Royals in a month's time, on Saturday, December 18, as Reading boss Veljko Paunovic told the club's official website: “This is a deal which we have been working on for some time and are confident it is the right move for both player and club.
"Andy is looking for a new challenge in his career and we need a player with his quality and vast experience.
"So this is a great match and I’m really looking forward to working with Andy over the next couple of months.”
