Development squad attacker Josh Phillips has put pen to paper on a new contract at Kenilworth Road.

The winger, who joined the Hatters in the summer of 2023, made his first team debut at Bristol City on Boxing Day last year as a second-half substitute.

A regular in Alex Lawless’ under-21 side last term, Phillips, who turns 20 in August, netted twice in the Premier League Cup as the Hatters reached the knockout phase.

He spent time on loan at Bath City in National League South and came back to score a double hat-trick for our under-21s in a 13-2 friendly win over Notts County in December.

Manager Matt Bloomfield said: “I’m really pleased that Josh has signed a new contract. He’s a really exciting player for the future and one we’re looking forward to looking at in pre-season.

“He’s got really good attacking intent and he’s the type of player I like, so we’re looking forward to seeing what the future holds for him at our football club.”

Josh told lutontown.co.uk: “I’m proud to sign a new contract and continue the journey here because Luton feels like home now.

“I’ve matured on and off the pitch in this past year and I’m looking forward to developing and establishing myself as a senior player.

“I know there’s still a lot of hard work to do, but I’ll keep my head down and put my trust in the manager and the coaching staff.

“I’ve had a taste of the first team after my debut – and now I want a bit more. When I went onto the pitch I didn’t feel the nerves; it felt like I belonged and was meant to be there.

“Now it’s the time for me to focus, improve my craft and grab this opportunity with both hands.”

Congratulations, Josh!
