Former Luton Town captain Ronnie Henry has returned to Kenilworth Road as part of the academy coaching group.

Henry, now 40, captained the Hatters to the Conference title in 2014 when they regained their place in the English Football League after five seasons away.

He played 87 games for the club in total before leaving for Stevenage, but will now assist with the under-21 and under-18 teams as a professional development phase assistant coach.

"I have great memories from my playing days, so I'm hoping for more now in a coaching role where I'll bring experience and knowledge to the young players," Henry said.

"Knowing the football club and being a previous captain helps, but I know it takes hard work, high standards and a desire and determination to succeed. But as well as aiming to help the players become better footballers, I'll be aiming to make them better human beings."
