Ex-Hatters defender moves to Raith Rovers

Ex-Luton defender Frankie Musonda has moved north of the border to sign for Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers.

The 22-year-old, who joined Town as an eight-year old in 2006, left in the summer after not being offered a new contract by boss Nathan Jones, ending a 14-year alliance at Kenilworth Road in which he made 14 first team appearances.

He.has now penned a one-year deal at Stark's Park and speaking to the club's official website, Musonda said: "One of my old team-mates Olly Lee plays for Hearts, so I know it's going to be a tough league, a physical league and it's definitely a challenge I'm excited to be a part of.

"I'd like to think I'd be one of the leaders in the group, on the pitch I'm a bit of a voice.

"I want to bring some passion and energy to the team, in terms of my playing style, I'm a defender, but I like to play.

"I can play right back too, so I just want to come here and get as many clean sheets as possible."

Rovers chief John McGlynn added: "Frankie's a centre back and we've been looking for a centre back.

"We're a little bit light in there and he's a good age at 22, one of the younger ones to develop.

"Frankie is one that we can look to kick on, he's a real tough, strong defender, but he's good on the ball as well.

"He's been at Luton since he was a wee young boy, played for the youth teams, captained the teams and has got leadership skills.

"He's a good defender first and foremost, got a bit of pace about him, got a bit of aggression, brave, so he's going to give good competition and fighting for places.

"I think he'll be good driving out from the back with the ball, so he's got a lot of positive attributes."
