Luton midfielder Louie Watson has joined Chartlon Athletic on a season-long loan deal.

The 22-year-old midfielder joined the Hatters last summer from Derby County, making nine appearances for Town.

Watson, a Republic of Ireland U21 international, has not featured for Luton this term in the Premier League, but will hope to gain more playing times in League One.

He becomes the Addicks’ ninth summer signing and after completing his move to Charlton, he told the south London club’s website: “I’m absolutely buzzing to be here. I can’t wait to get started and integrate with the boys. Charlton is a young, exciting team with high ambition which is going to suit me as an individual. I feel like I am going to suit the team with my attributes and I feel like the other lads’ attributes can suit me as well.”
