Portsmouth sign Wales's Joe Morrell from Luton and add Louis Thompson

Joe Morrell only started five Championship games for Luton last season following his switch from Bristol City

League One club Portsmouth have signed Wales midfielder Joe Morrell from Luton Town for an undisclosed fee and brought in Louis Thompson on a free transfer.

Morrell, 24, has agreed a three-year contract, and Pompey have an option to extend the deal by a further year.

He only made 11 appearances for the Hatters after joining last October.

Midfielder Thompson joins after being released by Norwich City earlier this summer, and has signed a one-year deal with the option of another 12 months.

The 26-year-old, a former Wales Under-21 international, only registered 14 senior outings for the Canaries but he featured 21 times during a loan spell at MK Dons last season.

Former Bristol City man Morrell started all three of Wales' group games at Euro 2020 this summer, as well as the last-16 defeat by Denmark.

He previously played under Pompey boss Danny Cowley during a loan spell at Lincoln during the 2019-20 campaign.

"Joe will bring a really infectious energy and enthusiasm to our team," Cowley told the club website.

"It was great to watch him in the Euros over the summer and he's a really talented player, who will offer calmness on the ball."
