Golden Jaguars’ Isaiah Jones joins Luton Town FC

Luton Town have signed Isaiah Jones from Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old Guyana international made 149 appearances for Boro, scoring 13 goals, after making his debut in 2020.

Jones has played 23 times this season for Michael Carrick’s team, who are fifth in the Championship.

“I think it’s the perfect move for both parties. This season’s been tough for Luton so far but there’s a really strong squad here and hopefully I can put a smile onto the fans’ faces,” he said.

Earlier on Friday, Luton forward Joe Taylor made a permanent move to League One Huddersfield Town.

The Hatters have endured a difficult return to the second tier following relegation from the Premier League and parted ways with head coach Rob Edwards on Thursday after a run of four losses in a row, and 10 consecutive away defeats.

“I think it’s the perfect move for both parties,” Jones told the club’s website.

“The project here, the success the club’s had over the past couple of years and moving back down south is an attractive proposition for me.

“This season’s been tough for Luton so far but there’s a really strong squad here and hopefully I can put a smile onto the fans’ faces.

“I’m direct, skilful and I like to give the crowd something to cheer. I can’t wait to get started.”

Boro signed Jones from Tooting & Mitcham in 2019. He spent time north of the border on loan at St Johnstone and Queen of the South.

Luton did not state the length of Jones’s contract. He is available for selection for Saturday’s FA Cup third round visit to high-flying Nottingham Forest. (BBC)
