Luton Town confirm signing of England international | OneFootball

Free agent Andros Townsend has made a return to the Premier League on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old attacker has signed a short-term contract with Luton Town until January.

Townsend has 13 caps for England, alongside 264 appearances in the Premier League. After graduating from Tottenham’s academy, he had spells with Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Everton.

“I feel like it’s a good fit and these last couple of weeks have been good for both parties. I think it had to be right and I feel over the last two weeks we’ve had a look at each other and done that,” he said on the move.

“I’ve seen where I can help this team and on the flipside the manager has seen where I can help – whether that’s on the pitch, in the dressing room or on the training field – with my enthusiasm and experience.

“Plus, Luton are my local team – I live 20-25 minutes away so I’ve kept my eye on their progress and watching the Championship play-off final and see them win promotion was great for the club.

“I never thought I’d pull on the Luton shirt, so it’s a huge honour to play again in the Premier League for this club, and hopefully get help this club get as many points as we can and see where it takes us.”

Townsend will wear no. 30 for Luton Town.
