DONE DEAL: Luton sign Rotherham winger Ogbene

Luton Town have signed Rotherham United winger Chiedozie Ogbene.

Ogbene joins Luton on a Bosman transfer and becomes their first signing since promotion to the Premier League.

"I'm delighted to be here as a Premier League player, because of my journey and where I've been in the last five and a half years," said Ogbene.

"My former coach said one in 200,000 [would make it to the top] - I guess I'm that one!

"My journey is special to me. I come from Rotherham United where I achieved some great things with some great people. But to be considered a Luton Town player with an opportunity to feature in the Premier League was an opportunity I couldn't turn down."

The Republic of Ireland international, 26, is a former Brentford player, having played in Ireland for Cork and Limerick.
