HATTERS SWOOP TO SIGN LAWSON

- By Tom Blackett

LUTON are hoping the signing of attacking midfielder Lawson D’Ath from Northampto­n can help them recover from the loss of broken leg victim Cameron McGeehan.

The highly-rated McGeehan suffered his injury in the 1-0 defeat at Portsmouth last Monday and could miss the rest of the season.

The Hatters wasted no time in signing D’Ath on an 18-month contract to the end of June 2018, with the club having the option to extend the 24-year-old’s stay for a further year.

Manager Nathan Jones said: “We’ve got good options here already, but when the chance came to sign Lawson, it was an opportunit­y we couldn’t really turn down. He’ll add real quality and energy to our squad.”
