Speaking on the BBC show Football Focus, he said: I just felt like I had a lot to prove and I'd been missing my football, playing games.

I feel like I've gone back in time as I've not played that much over the last three or four years, as much as maybe at times I deserved.

Choosing to come to Luton, it was more the manager, I was speaking to him and he said he wanted me to just come and enjoy my football, play regularly and I've enjoyed every minute of it."
