Former England international Andros Townsend intends to play for many more years.

The winger was out of contract in the summer after leaving Everton at the end of last season.

However, it was not until after the summer window closed that Townsend earned a move to Luton Town.

Speaking after his team's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, the 32-year-old Townsend said: “I missed a year and a half, but before I got injured I felt like I was in my prime physically.

"I believe with a run of games I can get back to where I was and beyond, so this is definitely not a swansong in my mind.

"I know I need this platform to get back to where I was and beyond.

“There's no pressure, I've not been brought in here to save anybody.

"I know what I can bring, I know what abilities I have, I know probably how far I am away from being fully, fully match fit, that's it.

"I'm going to keep working hard, If I impress enough to get 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 90 minutes on the weekend, that's my job.

"If I can help with my experience and my wisdom in the dressing room then I'm happy also, but there's definitely no pressure on myself.

"I'm looking to take this opportunity with both hands and take my game to another level."
