Luton boss Nathan Jones believes young attacker Josh Neufville is getting a positive experience from a loan spell at his former side Yeovil Town.

The 20-year-old came through the ranks at Kenilworth Road, signing a first pro deal in September 2018, and has made four appearances for the Hatters first team so far.

Neufville was loaned to Sollihull Moors and Woking last season, before he moved to Huish Park. Jones' old stomping ground, back in December.

After a quiet start, he is now making a real impact, scoring twice in his last two games, the first against Torquay a terrific effort into the top corner, winning the Vanarama Goal of the Week award.

Speaking about Neufville, Jones said: "We’re delighted he is doing well there and he’s in a good place.

"I’m a big believer in not just sending them to a level but making sure they go to a good environment that they can get a positive experience from.

"Yeovil has a good track record because I was part of that track record of taking loans and looking after them, giving them a home, making them feel wanted, developing them to a certain level and then going back to their parent club.

"The list of ones who have come from Yeovil is very, very impressive and lets hope Josh is one of those.

"He has gone to a good place, I know the people there, obviously Darren Sarll and a good friend of mine Terry Skiverton and they’re looking after him very, very well.

"He’s playing games, scoring, they’re picking up some vital results so everyone is a winner."
