Reece Burke has signed a long-term contract extension with Luton with the defender saying it was a “no-brainer” after promotion to the Premier League.
The 26-year-old defender joined the Hatters in June 2021 after winning promotion the Championship with Hull City.
The West Ham United youth product suffered with injuries last term, but came on early in the play-off final win over Coventry after Tom Lockyer collapsed and was rushed to hospital, putting in one of the standout performances on the day at Wembley.
“I’m absolutely delighted,” said Burke. “I’m grateful to have another opportunity, buzzing to continue my journey here. It’s been two successful years here, the first season we got in the play-offs and didn’t get promoted but in the second season we did go up.
“Wembley was the best day of my life in football, so I’m really delighted to stay. Personally, last year was difficult for me in terms of injuries, my main focus this time is to stay fit and try to do well. When I’m fit, I play well so I know I’ve got more to give.
“I just enjoy coming into training every day, we’ve got a great team, great staff, great fans, I like everything about this club, so it was a no-brainer really.
“Over the last two seasons, the best moment would be Wembley, I came on so early in the game, but I did well and that feeling when we won was unreal. It’s so hard to describe but it’s my best day in football for me.”
