Luton sign Stoke City forward Tom Ince on loan

Luton have signed Stoke City forward Tom Ince on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has racked almost 400 appearances in a career that has seen him play in the Premier League for Crystal Palace, Hull City and Huddersfield Town, and the Championship with Nottingham Forest, Derby County and the Potters.

Ince cost the Rams £4.75m in 2015, and after netting 27 goals in 97 appearances, he moved to Stoke in deal worth more than £10m in the summer of 2018.

Town boss Nathan Jones, who managed Ince during his stint in charge at the Bet 365 Stadium, told the club's official website: “I’m delighted to get Tom down here.

"He’s a player I know very well from my time at Stoke.

"He’ll give us real quality in the final third and it just shows one, the ambition here, and two, the reputation we are starting to build, that we can attract him.

“I had a really good relationship with him when I was working with him at Stoke.

"He’s someone I rate really highly, he’s had a fantastic career, been promoted, been sold for a lot of money and played in the Premier League.

“Speaking to Tom as well, he’s really committed.

"He just wants to get back playing and he’s got the hunger to really do well, so he ticks all the boxes we look for in a new signing.”
