Andros Townsend has left Luton Town to join Turkish side Antalyaspor, with the winger making his move to Turkey after a delayed transfer.

The 33-year-old’s move to Corendon Airlines Park was originally agreed in August, but was unable to complete the move after Antalyaspor were placed under a transfer embargo by FIFA.

With the registration embargo now lifted, however, Townsend has completed his move to Antalya.

Townsend has signed a two-year-contract to join the side who finished 10th in the Turkish Super League last season.

The winger spent one year with Luton after joining from Everton. He made 31 appearances in all competitions after joining Rob Edwards’ side, scoring once in the form of a winner against his former club Newcastle.

Townsend had initially signed an extension to his contract in January 2024, but has moved to Turkey instead. Luton have not disclosed if a transfer fee exchanged hands in the transaction.

Hatters boss Rob Edwards wished Townsend well in a goodbye statement on the Hatters’ official website.

He said, “It’s a big thank you and good luck to Andros and we wish him well.

“This move is the right fit for Andros at this stage of his career and is in the best interests of all parties.

“Andros’ professionalism since he set foot inside The Brache has been exemplary – his discipline and attention to detail is something I hope has rubbed off on our young players.

“I’d like to thank him for his hard work and commitment to the cause while he was a Luton Town player, and wish him and his family well in Turkey.”
