Luton Town defender Tom Holmes is determined to ensure that he is a success at the club next season.

The 23-year-old became the club's first winter signing, although he has gone back out on loan to Reading.

The Championship club's vice-captain, who was sold due to financial problems, hopes that Luton will still be in the Premier League when he joins up for pre-season.

He told club media: “I'm very grateful for Luton's continued interest in me. I know I've been on their radar for a while now, so it's nice it's come to fruition. I've spoken to the manager and I'm excited to work together.

“My aim is to come back and hit the ground running and really impress. That's why going back will be a win-win for myself, Luton and Reading.

“It's quite a nice way for me to end my time there and do something productive. I'm excited for that opportunity and I'm relishing the challenge.

“It's been tough this season with a lot going on off the pitch but hopefully it will be resolved sooner rather than later and we can continue with improved performances of late."
