Hats off to Edwards!

LUTON have appointed Rob Edwards as their new manager.

The former Watford and Forest Green boss (below) succeeds Nathan Jones, who left Kenilworth Road for Premier League Southampton last week.

The 39-year-old has agreed a three-and-a-halfyear deal with the Hatters.

The appointment comes two months after Edwards was sacked by Championship rivals Watford after just 10 games in charge.
