Striker Sam Nombe has signed for Luton on a season-long loan from Milton Keynes, with a view to a permanent transfer, admitting he knows the Hatters’ history of developing young players.
The 21-year-old, who came through the ranks at the Milton Keynes club, has made almost 50 appearances for the club, including 25 last term, scoring five times.
“I know the history behind this club and all the players who have come through at Luton Town, so for me it’s definitely a place where you come to develop and progress yourself as a player,” said Nombe.
“That’s what I’m here to do while also helping the team progress and get as many points as we can to keep pushing forward in the league.”
The move has been a while in the making for the Croydon-born forward, who explained: “There was some interest in January, but it didn’t go through and I think the gaffer was keen to get it through in this window, as I was too.
“I’m so glad it’s all done and I can push forward and test myself as a player at a higher level.
“I’ve been out on loan and I look back on those spells in Non-League as great experiences. I’m happy to have them under my belt, as well as my appearances in League One, but I want to show that I can progress at different levels and keep pushing forward, which is what I’m looking to do with Luton Town. I can’t wait to get started.”
