Town travel to Berkshire this afternoon

Town keeper James Shea makes his first appearance for the Hatters since suffering a serious knee injury against Cardiff last season, when he takes his place between the posts for the U21s in their trip to Reading this afternoon.

The 31-year-old has been out of action since April 18, 2022 after colliding with his own defender Tom Lockyer during the 1-0 victory in Wales.

Hatters boss Rob Edwards stated recently he doesn’t want the former Arsenal youngster to leave on loan in a bid to regain his match sharpness, rather stay at Kenilworth Road and provide competition, along with Jack Walton, to number one Ethan Horvath for the closing stages of the season.
