“I was over the moon and delighted that Luton have taken the chance of bringing me to the club.
“When I heard about where Luton are progressing to and where they should be, it was a no-brainer to join as they’re a massive club.
“Once they asked me to go on the pre-season tour to Portugal, I was more than happy to pack up everything within the space of a day and fly over.”

Hide AdOn deciding to become a Luton player, O’Brien was immediately whisked off with the rest of the squad to their Portugal training camp and felt the timing of everything had been ideal.
He continued: “You want to get to know your team-mates as quick as you can.
“There’s no better opportunity than a pre-season tour when you have to stay in the same hotel and have to get on with each other, and the whole group got on like a house on fire, so it went as well as I’d hoped.”
