Andros Townsend confident of new Luton deal

Andros Townsend is confident signing a new contract with Luton Town.

The veteran's current deal expires this month after joining at the start of the season.

The former Everton winger said: I don't want to count my chickens before they're hatched, but I think we're almost there. There wasn't much work as this is the club that gave me my chance when no-one else would so it wasn't a case of pitting them against other clubs, it was Luton and Luton only.

"I think we're on the cusp of something special, so it would be difficult to leave half-way through and we're almost there, but I don't want to get excited until it's signed on the dotted line."

Manager Rob Edwards also said: We're working on it as we speak. I think he's really enjoying it here and appreciates that we probably help each other and hopefully we can do that for a while longer yet. I've been really pleased.

"We're talking to him and trying to get something agreed, which would be great for us because he's been brilliant since he's come in."
