Luton Town captain Scott Cuthbert extends contract

Luton skipper Scott Cuthbert's contract has automatically been extended until the end of the 2017-18 season.

The 29-year-old defender joined the Hatters in the summer of 2015, with a clause inserted into his two-year deal stating that an extra season would be triggered after his 50th league appearance, which he made in last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Carlisle.

Manager Nathan Jones said: "Since I came to the club, Scott has been a leader on and off the pitch. He's taken on board everything I've wanted, he's embraced a new style of play and been a credit to himself.

"We are delighted that he's triggered a clause in his contract to tie him to the club for another year because he's a popular member of the squad, he brings stability to the back four and we've had an excellent defensive record with him there.

"He's now at an important stage of his career and we want him to keep improving and developing along with the team."
