Dundee United’s hopes of signing Luton goalkeeper Jack Walton are “up in the air” after the Hatters triggered a one-year extension on his Hatters deal.
The 27-year-old has spent the last two seasons on loan at Tannadice, featuring in the club’s Scottish Championship title-winning campaign and their return to the Premiership. But hopes of a permanent switch north of the border have been put on hold — for now.
“It’s up in the air,” United boss Jim Goodwin told the Dundee Courier, adding: “Luton Town have triggered the option, and with that, Jack will remain a Luton Town player for the next 12 months, unless something changes in the meantime.
“Jack’s been great for us and is another player that’s had niggles throughout the course of the campaign and played through the pain barrier.
“He’s disappointed to have conceded the number of goals that he has in the last three games, but he’s an important figure for us.
“He’s been one of the top goalkeepers in the league in terms of saves made and clean sheets. We’re very grateful to him for what he’s done for the club in the last couple of seasons.”
