First Team

Watch Kal and Thelo interviewed by Hatter Aidan!

17-year-old fan and budding reporter's chat with Town duo

Hatters supporters may have read last week about young Town fan Aidan's determination to pursue a career in sports journalism, despite his special educational needs.

Luton lad Aidan, who lives with dyspraxia and has an atrial septal defect, attends Weatherfield Academy mixed special school in Dunstable.

Last year the 17-year-old won the BBC East Young Reporter of the Year award, with one of his highlights being the evening he spent with the Three Counties Radio commentary team up on the gantry for the 1-0 win over Stoke in December.

You can read his story on BBC online HERE.

On Wednesday afternoon, Aidan took up our offer to gain more experience by coming with us to his old primary school, Stopsley Community Primary School, to interview our January signings Kal Naismith and Thelo Aasgaard as they attended a special mental health workshop for Year 6 pupils.

The session was put on by the Luton Town Community Trust as part of Children's Mental Health Week and this is what the lads had to say to our budding reporter!

Well done Aidan!
