Town reportedly rebuff an offer from Championship strugglers for winger Jones

Luton have reportedly rejected a bid from Championship side Oxford United to sign winger Izzy Jones ahead of the transfer window closing for business on Monday evening.

The 26-year-old came in during this period of the season last term, as he went on to start 14 from the last 15 matches of the campaign, one of the few bright points in the Hatters' relegation to League One, with some fine displays on the right flank, scoring twice. This season though he has barely featured, suffering a stress fracture to his back before the campaign began which meant he missed the opening 12 games, eventually coming on in the 1-0 win at Northampton Town on October 25, setting up Lamine Fanne’s winner from the left with one of his first touches.

Jones was then on target in the 3-0 victory at Stockport County, getting 90 minutes at Edgeley Park and then following that with another full game as Town drew 0-0 against Rotherham United, before he went off at half time in the 5-0 loss at Barnsley due to an ankle injury. Unable to return from that, the attacker hasn't been included in any of the next 12 matchday squads for over two months now, although is apparently getting close according to boss Jack Wilshere.

The wideman, who signed from Middlesbrough and has represented Bermuda on eight occasions, scoring six goals, is believed to be on the wishlist for Oxford, who are now managed by ex-Town boss Matt Bloomfield, whom he played for last term. A report on Sky Sports said: “Oxford United have had an enquiry for Luton's Isaiah Jones turned down. Jones is open to a return to the Championship with other clubs interested. Jones signed for Luton in January 2025.”
