Doughty signs contract extension at Luton Town

Alfie Doughty joined Luton Town from Stoke City in the summer of 2022 for an undisclosed fee

Wing-back Alfie Doughty has signed a new contract to extend his stay at Luton Town.

The versatile 24-year-old, who can also play as a midfielder, moved to Kenilworth Road in the summer of 2022 from Stoke City and was a breakout star during the Hatters' Premier League campaign last season.

"It’s a relief. I want to get back into the Premier League with Luton, especially after this couple of years we’ve had. It’s my third year now, I love the club and I’m happy to stay," he told Luton's club website.

The length of Doughty's new contract is undisclosed.

Manager Rob Edwards said: "This is very good news for the football club, and good news for Alfie as well.

"It’s a big commitment from a big player for us, everyone knows how popular Alfie is with the fans and within the squad, and we are all delighted to get it sorted.”

Doughty played in all but one of Luton's Premier League matches last season, scoring twice and providing eight assists.
