Marvelous Nakamba joins Luton Town on a three-year deal after a successful loan spell

Marvelous Nakamba, the Zimbabwean international, has signed a three-year contract with Luton Town, following a successful loan spell that saw the club win promotion.

“I’m very excited to be back home at Luton to continue the journey,” the 29-year-old midfielder said.

During his loan spell, he made 20 appearances and scored a critical penalty in the shootout victory in the play-off final against Coventry, sealing promotion for Luton.

“When I joined on loan, I felt love from everyone – the manager, the board, the staff, the players, and the fans,” Nakamba added.

 

“The fans really welcomed me and made me feel energized and motivated to do well, so it was unbelievable to pay them back in the way that we did.”

Luton Town’s Manager, Rob Edwards, praised Nakamba for not just his work ethic but also his humility.

“As a footballer, he was the glue that knitted us together. He allowed everyone to do their jobs. There were quotes out there last season saying it was like having three of him on the pitch at times – he covered every blade of grass.”

“It’s a huge statement for the club going forward,” Edwards continued.

“To bring in a player of his quality on a permanent transfer speaks volumes of where this football club is going, how ambitious we are, and where we intend to go.”
