Rooney taking his Hatters chance
Hatters first team coach Hakan Hayrettin was delighted recalled midfielder Luke Rooney is getting his chance to shine.
The 23-year-old has started Town’s last two games and scored in both of them.
Hayrettin said: “I’m happy for him. He got sent off way, way back and it wasn’t a sending off and he then found it difficult to get back in the team.

“He’s got his chance and hopefully he’s here for a long time.”
Although he is out of contract this month, boss John Still expects Rooney to stay, adding: “In my mind Luke Rooney will be here, I don’t envisage there being any problem with that.”
