Luton Town have signed goalkeeper Josh Keeley from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old has joined the Hatters on a permanent deal, having spent last season on loan at Leyton Orient.

He scored for Orient in an FA Cup second round tie against Oldham, one of 45 appearances last season, the last one coming in the League One play-off final against Charlton, which they lost 1-0.

"He is an excellent shot-stopper and can play out from the back and sweep up behind the defence," Luton boss Matt Bloomfield told the club website., external

"We're pleased to acquire a goalkeeper of his potential who already has plenty of experience."

Luton have not disclosed the length of Keeley's contract at Kenilworth Road.
