“He asked if I could guarantee him regular first team football – I said I couldn’t and we talked through the situation.
“A few days later he approached me and said that he wants to play regular senior football – something I understand but cannot guarantee here.
“We eventually agreed that it might be best for all parties if he left the club.”

He played 57 times for Luton, scoring three goals, but his last appearance came back in March 2015 against Wycombe, as this term he spent spells on loan with Grimsby and Woking.
Jones added: “Matt has not been involved with the first team this season and at just shy of his 22nd birthday it is important that he doesn’t spend another season in limbo.
“He needs to be playing regularly and establishing his career again.

“Both lads have been excellent professionals and haven’t caused me any problems whatsoever.

“I hope they each go on to enjoy the next chapters in their careers.”
