Luton boss Edwards welcomes back Lockyer

Luton captain Tom Lockyer was reunited with his teammates at the start of this week.

The 29-year-old was back at the club's Brache HQ training ground after the cardiac arrest he suffered during a game in December.

Lockyer had the entire town concerned when he was stretchered off and taken to hospital in an ambulance during a game against Bournemouth.

“It was amazing to see him back," manager Rob Edwards told the club website.

“We had a really good morning seeing him around the place.

“We handed out the debut Premier League balls with (former managers) John Still and Mick Harford.

“It was a nice presentation; it was a special moment and great to see.

“I managed to hold it together but it was emotional. It's been a really difficult time for his family first and foremost, but for us it was great to see him.

“He's an unbelievably brave man and someone who has an unbelievable handle over all of it. I wouldn't be how he is.

“He's such an impressive and focused person. There's a rehabilitation process but he's taking it slowly, he's got a baby on the way and that's his main focus."
