Luton midfielder Allan Campbell has joined League One side Charlton Athletic on a season-long to link up once again with Nathan Jones, the manager who brought him to the Hatters.
The 26-year-old spent last season on loan at Millwall and earlier this summer Town boss Rob Edwards revealed he was surplus to requirements at Kenilworth Road, having made 86 appearances since arriving from Motherwell in summer of 2021.
Campbell scored a memorable goal to secure victory over arch-rivals Watford on Luton’s way to promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.
The Scottish international reunited with Jones, now in charge of Charlton who have made a perfect start to their third tier campaign. He will also compete for a place in midfield alongside former Hatters team-mate Luke Berry, who joined the Addicks this summer.
Speaking to Charlton’s website about Jones, Campbell said: “He played a massive part. He brought me to Luton from Scotland so he knows me well and I know him well from working under him. I know what type of person he is – he’s got a drive to succeed and do well, and I thrive under that environment. He got the best out of me when I played under him. When I spoke to him about his ambitions for this club and where he sees the team going this year, it made me want to come straight away.”
Jones said: “I am delighted to add a player who I’ve signed previously, when I was at Luton. He’s a player who was pivitol in Luton’s promotion to the Premier League the season before last.
“He gives us another option in midfield, with his quality and experience. I loved working with him before, so when the opportunity came up to sign him for Charlton I really wanted to bring him here.”
