Luton boss Edwards delighted as Morris pens new deal

Luton Town have secured striker Carlton Morris to a new contract.

Morris scored 20 goals in Luton's promotion campaign last season.

"We're so pleased to get someone as important to us as Carlton signed on for even longer - he's a brilliant person to have in our squad," said manager Rob Edwards.

"His goals were influential last season, but whenever I spoke about him or was asked about him, it was his all-round game and what he brought to the team, whether it was hold-up play, work-rate, headers, defensive headers in his own box from corners.

"It was everything that he gave the team, as well as the goal threat. He's got great experience now, but he's a good age, someone who is really hungry, and he deserves the opportunity now to have a go in the Premier League."
