Luton Town have made Motherwell midfielder Allan Campbell their third signing of the summer, signing the Scott for an undisclosed fee, with manager Nathan Jones calling him “one of the best young midfield players in Scotland.”

The 22-year-old leaves Fir Park, where he spent his entire career, scoring 16 goals in 159 appearances for the Scottish Premiership side.

Campbell’s transfer was made possible by the Hatters’ ‘Transfer Club’ fund raised by supporters who paid the full amount for their 2021/22 season ticket, donating the equivalent of a 40 per cent credit to the club.   

Rumours first emerged last season manager but Nathan Jones played them down, but Campbell joins Fred Onyedinmah and Reece Burke as the Welshman plans Town’s third straight season in the Championship.

Today manager Jones said: “We are delighted to get Allan done as he’s one we’ve been tracking for a while.

“He’s one of the best young midfield players in Scotland, athletic and hungry for success. He’s one that I’m sure will be a fans’ favourite at Kenilworth Road.

“From the moment I met him I knew he was serious about his football, and we like individuals like that. He had a lot of interest, so we’re delighted he’s chosen to join us.

“He’s already got vast experience, but at 22 years old he’s a great age and one that can grow with us.

“We couldn’t have done this without the support of the season ticket holders who have donated their credit. As with the signing of Fred, we thank everyone for that wonderful support in helping us pay the fee to bring him south.”
