Luton Town have announced the singings of defender Kal Naismith and midfielder Thelo Aasgaard.

Naismith, 32, signs on loan for the remainder of the current season from Bristol City, in the process returning to the club he left to move to Bristol in 2022, having been voted the club’s Player of the Year in his last season with the Hatters.

Meanwhile, 22-year-old midfielder Aasgaard joins from Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract of undisclosed length with the Bedfordshire club.

The arrivals mean Luton have now signed four players in the window, following the previous arrivals of Christ Makosso and Isaiah Jones.

Former Scotland youth international Naismith was the first arrival the Hatters confirmed in their dual signings yesterday (28/01), with the move seeing him return to Luton for a second time.

Naismith had previously joined Luton in 2021 from Wigan, making 68 appearances in all competitions for the club and helping them to reach the play-offs in his only full season at the club.

The defender left to join Bristol City in 2022 but has found game time hard this season in the South West, making 7 appearances for the Robins this season and none since a defeat by Leeds United on Bonfire Night.

Naismith told the official Luton Town website that he was delighted to return to the club.

He said, “I’m delighted and excited to be back and grateful to get this opportunity.

“It’s a great squad and, while we’re not in a great place at a minute, it’s still an amazing place with amazing people.

“I want to come in and help and have a good end of the season. I’ll give everything, I couldn’t have loved my time here before any more.

“It’s not often people get second chances but I’m back to try and have a positive impact on the team between now and the end of the season.”

The signing of Naismith was then followed by the signing of former Norway youth international Aasgaard, who joins from Wigan Athletic.

Born in Liverpool but eligible to represent Norway through his father’s family, Aasgaard moves to Bedfordshire after four and a half years of first team football with Wigan, playing in League One and the Championship.

He had enjoyed a very impressive goalscoring season with the Latics so far this term, having scored 12 times in 31 appearances in all competitions, including four goals in his final four appearances before the move was confirmed.

Aasgaard confirmed he was delighted to get the opportunity to move to the club.

He said, “It’s been a joy to watch this club grow over the past few years so I can’t wait to be a part of it now.

“I’ve been at Wigan from a young age, and I’ve had a lot of good memories there, so the next move had to be right, had to be special, and I feel this is the right place to be.

“I’m going to try to add goals from midfield and provide that creative spark and bring my teammates into the play.

“I’ve been playing pretty much every minute of every game at Wigan so I’m ready to go. I’m physically good and I can’t wait to get started.”
