Former Albion player and coach Nathan Jones has returned to Luton Town for a second stint as boss.

Jones left the Hatters 16 months ago for an ill-fated spell in charge of Stoke City.

He led the Hatters to promotion from League Two and was on course to emulate that feat in League One when he was tempted by an offer from the Potteries.

Luton chief executive Gary Sweet said: “We need a manager who can hit the ground sprinting - someone who knows us, our players and our environment and someone who knows the league.

"There's only one man who has those characteristics and that's Nathan Jones."
