Town boss looking to secure the futures of his out of contract players as soon as possible

Hatters boss Nathan Jones is hoping to secure the long term futures of Town's out of contract players as soon as possible.

Although the club haven’t announced the lengths of the deals signed in recent years, it’s thought that the likes of James Collins, Sonny Bradley, Matty Pearson, Dan Potts, George Moncur, Martin Cranie, Ryan Tunnicliffe and even the long-serving Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu could all become free agents in the summer.

Jones admitted he was feeling relaxed about how the talks were going so far, but does want them sorted out sooner rather than later, as speaking to the press this afternoon, he said: "We know with what we have here, we’re pretty settled.

"We’ve opened negotiations with a number of players that we want to tie down, that we want to tie down early.

"There are one or two that we’re waiting to see how they finish the season, then we’ll have a conversation.

"It’s not that we don't want them, it’s because we want to be in a position where we speak to those about their career and about moving forward.

"We like to look after our players here and we want to tie down our assets.

"Some will have decisions to make over where’s the best place for them to play their football, so everything's in hand.

"We’re very rarely exposed on our players, especially since I've been here and that's credit to the board and to the work that we do and Gary (Sweet, chief executive) does to be fair."
