Luton Town boss Edwards: Townsend fitness levels are insane

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards is delighted securing Andros Townsend to a new deal.

The veteran has extended his agreement this week after impressing during his previous six-month contract.

Edwards said of the former Everton winger: It's an amazing signing for us. Andros has come into the group with real humility and professionalism. He's shown the whole group what it means to be elite and a top-end pro.

His fitness levels have been insane, and he's shown more and more his qualities with every game. For us to be able to tie him down to a longer-term contract is a credit to him he's been through a tough time, and it says a lot about him as a person.

"I also think it says a lot about the ambitions of this football club that we're signing people like Andros, with his level and quality, so it's a big, big signing for us."
