Midfielder Luke Berry is set to leave Luton Town this summer after seven successful years, but has left a parting message to Hatters fans that he’s had the time of his life playing for the club.
The 31-year-old made history with his late equaliser against Nottingham Forest in March by becoming the first ever Hatter to score in all four top divisions for the club.
But the club announced that they would not be taking an option to extend his contract beyond June, bringing to an end a spell which began in League Two and ended with him fulfilling his dream of playing the Premier League.
Berry told the club’s website: “Three promotions. Four different divisions. Seven years. What a ride!
“When I signed in 2017 the aim was definitely to get out of League Two and reach the Championship. But the Premier League? Being interviewed on Match of the Day? You’re having a laugh, surely!
“My time at Luton might be over, but the journey has been everything I was promised by Nathan and Gary – and then some.
“To every manager, coach and team-mate, thank you so much for making this the best seven years of my life.
“Thank you to the board for spending the money to bring me here, and especially the medical and sports science staff who have helped me recover from injuries, get fit and stay fit to fulfil a kid’s dream to play in the Premier League.
“I’ve met so many great people and made friends for life.
“To the fans who sang my name from day one, I can’t thank you enough. The way you have been with us through all the promotions, but especially this season, has been unbelievable.
“You don’t know how much it means to the lads so keep backing them and Rob, a top manager and someone I respect so much.
“Finally, for me to have a place in Luton Town history as the first player to score in all four divisions for your club is something that will live with me forever, as will this special club in my heart.
“It’s been a privilege to play for you. COYH!”
