Luton signing Chiedozie Ogbene grateful to Rotherham

Luton Town signing Chiedozie Ogbene is grateful to former club Rotherham United.

Ogbene completed a dream move to the Premier League new-boys this week.

He said: "It was massive for me.

"They really, really developed me and a lot of things have happened since then, including making my debut for Ireland, so it was the stability and gave me that opportunity to showcase my ability.

"I spent four seasons there, achieved some great things, but this opportunity to feature in the Premier League, I couldn't reject."

Ogbene is a former Brentford player.

“I came back to Brentford and it just didn't happen for me.

“I had that burning desire to improve and to learn the game though, so I made the decision to go to Rotherham.

“I was given the opportunity by Paul Warne and his staff, it was the best decision of my life.

“That was the place where I grew and I developed massively.

"It was difficult at first moving to Rotherham because I hadn't played many games at Brentford, so I needed someone who believed in me and take that leap of faith."
