Long-serving goalkeeper James Shea has signed a new contract that will keep at Luton Town for a 10th season.
The 34-year-old's new deal will run until the end of the 2026-27 campaign - a decade after he joined the Hatters from AFC Wimbledon in July 2017.
In that time, Shea has made 111 appearances for Luton and won three promotions - to League One in 2017-18, the Championship the following season and the Premier League in 2022-23.
Shea has been back-up keeper for the past two seasons at Kenilworth Road and is numer two to Josh Keeley this term.
His only appearances this season so far came in Luton's Carabao Cup defeat by Coventry City in early August.
"I'm really happy to get it all sorted, to carry on the journey and be here for another few years," Shea told the club's website., external
"I signed as a number two in League Two, so to come through to where we are now, it's been some journey.
"The ups and the downs. I've loved every single minute of it, and hopefully there's a few more ups coming."
