Luton release 14 stars in BRUTAL clear-out after relegation from the Premier League... as long-time servants from the team's spell in League Two are let go

Luton have released 14 players in a brutal clear-out following their relegation from the Premier League.

That cull includes two servants who have been with them since their days in League Two, from which they got promoted in 2017-18. 

The Hatters finished 18th in the top flight this season with 26 points, six short of Nottingham Forest.

Next season they will ply their trade in the Championship following an immediate demotion and they will do so without Dan Potts and Luke Berry.

Potts has been at Kenilworth Road since 2015 and won three promotions with the side.

The 30-year-old made 216 appearances for them but was not handed an opportunity in the Premier League after his service.

Meanwhile, Berry, 31, has been with the club since 2017.

Luton decided not to exercise their option to extend his deal so that the midfielder can seek more regular football elsewhere.

He made 20 appearances this campaign and chipped in with a couple of goals in their bid for Premier League survival. 

Potts and Berry will depart on June 30 and will be joined by Fred Onyedinma, Elliot Thorpe and Admiral Muskwe whose deals also run out next month.

Josh Allen, Tobias Braney, Oliver Camis, Archie Heron, Millar Matthews-Lewis and Ben Tompkins have been let go from the Under-21s.

Meanwhile, Will Houghton, Max Scott and Marcus Warren are leaving the academy at the end of their scholarships. 

Issa Kabore will return to Manchester City after his loan, while Albert Sambi Lokonga will go back to Arsenal.

Allan Campbell, Ryan Giles, Tom Holmes, John McAtee, Aribim Pepple, Dion Pereira, Joe Taylor, Jack Walton and Louie Watson's loan deals away from Luton will expire next month.

The club has exercised its option to extend the contract of goalkeeper James Shea while talks continue with Gabriel Osho over an extension.
