Matt Ingram made 29 appearances for Hull this season prior to joining Luton

Matt Ingram has put off his already delayed honeymoon in order to play for Luton in the Championship play-offs.

The 28-year-old joined the Hatters from Hull City at the beginning of the month on an emergency loan deal.

Ingram made his debut in a 7-0 thrashing by champions Fulham but kept a clean sheet against Reading as they secured their play-off place.

He was married in 2021 but did not have his honeymoon then because of Covid travel restrictions.

Ingram's initial deal has now been extended to cover the play-offs - the Hatters begin their two-legged semi-final against Huddersfield Town at Kenilworth Road on Friday.

"I had a honeymoon booked but that's had to be cancelled now as I was meant to go away on the 15th, but it was an opportunity I just couldn't turn down," he told the club website. , external

"Hopefully we get all the way to the play-off final and then we'll look to rebook after that, but my focus is very much on Friday, very much on the game, very much on football.

"The honeymoon has taken a back seat and that will get sorted out when it gets sorted out."

The aggregate winners between Luton and Huddersfield will face Nottingham Forest or Sheffield United at Wembley on 29 May, with a place in the Premier League at stake.
