DONE DEAL: Luton sign Martin Cranie following Sheffield Utd release

Luton Town have signed defender Martin Cranie following his release by Sheffield United.

The 32-year-old former Barnsley and Coventry player made 16 appearances for the Blades last season as they gained promotion to the Premier League.

Cranie has played 360 league games in his career and also helped Huddersfield reach the top flight in 2016-17.

"I've spoken to the manager a few times over the summer and I'm glad we finally got it over the line," he said.

Luton manager Graeme Jones told the club website: "He started life as a midfield player, but he's played anywhere across the back four or a back five, so he's vastly experienced and very healthy professional to sign on a free transfer."

The length of Cranie's contract at Kenilworth Road has not been disclosed.
