Danny Hylton and Luke Berry have penned new deals to keep them at Luton Town.
The duo were part of seven out-of-contract Hatters who, after the Coronavirus shutdown of football, elected to stay and fight in the club’s Championship relegation battle.
That proved successful last Wednesday when a a 3-2 win over Blackburn confirmed their stay in the second tier.
Hylton, 31, who boss Nathan Jones signed from Oxford when the club were in League Two, has played 126 times for Luton, scoring 58 times.
The club did not announce the length of the new contracts but the striker took to Twitter to post an emoji that suggested it was a two-year deal and that he is ‘buzzing’.
Midfielder Berry, 28, was another Jones signing, switching from Cambridge. He has played 88 times for Town, scoring 12 times and after the pair penned new terms, the manager said: “We are absolutely delighted to secure two big players for us in Danny and Luke.
“We recruited them both always with the Championship in mind. We knew they’d be big players at the level we signed them, but we always knew they could handle the step up. They’ve both proved that. They are big characters and they’ve earned their crack at the Championship.
“They are a big part of what we’ve achieved over the past four years, massive in creating a good environment and also to how we have played, and we want that to continue.”
Town have offered new deals to Glen Rea, Elliot Lee and Kazenga LuaLua, but this morning announced the departures of Callum McManaman and Jacob Butterfield, after one year at the club.
