Graeme Jones named new manager of Luton Town

Former Everton and Belgium assistant coach Graeme Jones has been named new manager of Luton Town.

The League One leaders, who have secured promotion to the Championship next season, have appointed Roberto Martinez's former assistant.

He has previously been No.2 at Swansea, Wigan, Everton and Belgium with Martinez, before moving to West Brom to work with Darren Moore.

Town CEO Gary Sweet said: “We're delighted to be the first club to secure the managerial services of Graeme Jones. Graeme is a very highly regarded coach and assistant amongst his peers and has caught our eye over the last few seasons as someone who is very hard working, very methodical and thorough in his approach, and a coach who sets his teams up in a manner Luton players and supporters will be accustomed to.

“We were always looking for an individual with fresh ideas but one who would befit our Club's culture and ambition; one who is capable of taking Luton Town to the next level, building further upon the foundations we have nurtured over the last few years. We are very much looking forward to Graeme leading us into our next few chapters as a Championship club."
