Luton Town have continued a busy week in football’s transfer market with the signings of Josh Bowler and Millenic Alli, while Tom Krauß and Allan Campbell have left the club.

Bowler, 25, joined the Hatters on loan for the rest of the season from Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest, while 24-year-old forward Alli has arrived from League One outfit Exeter City on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee.

The deals continue a busy window for the Championship strugglers, with Luton having signed six players. The Hatters had previously signed Christ Makosso, Isaiah Jones, Kal Naismith and Thelo Aasgaard, with the latter two have joined earlier this week.

Meanwhile, German midfielder Krauß has returned to parent club Mainz, with the 23-year-old’s loan deal from the Bundesliga outfit was terminated at the player’s request after he asked to leave for personal reasons. Luton confirmed the midfielder is seeking another loan move within Germany. He leaves after scoring two goals in 23 appearances for the Hatters.

Scottish midfielder Campbell, who finished a loan at Charlton earlier this month, has left on a permanent basis, with the 26-year-old joining Dundee United for an undisclosed fee and signing a deal to join the club for the rest of this current season. The deal sees Campbell leave after four years contracted to the club.

The two new faces at Kenilworth Road confirmed this week have been part of a busy week for Matt Bloomfield’s side ahead of Saturday’s trip (01/02) to Sheffield Wednesday, having signed Naismith and Aasgaard earlier this week.

Bowler joins Luton after spending the first half of this season on loan with Preston North End. He has previously had stints in the second tier with Hull City, Blackpool and Cardiff.

He told the official Luton Town website that following a conversation with Bloomfield, he felt like he was joining a club with a plan to use him.

He said, “I knew there was a bit of interest for me coming to Luton, and speaking to the manager, he said he’s quite fond of me and likes how I play.

“He remembered me from my time at Blackpool and Cardiff and was keen to get me in as I fit his system, so I’m really pleased to be here.

“I’ve played most of my games in the Championship, so I know the league inside out and I’m ready to get going.

“I’ve experienced playing at Kenilworth Road a few times and it’s always been one of those grounds that I’ve found tough to go to. To be able to play there week in, week out with those fans on my side is something I’m really looking forward to.”

The other announced arrival was that of Irish-born left-sided attacker Alli, who joins after scoring 12 goals in 33 appearances this season in League One for Exeter City. He had been with the Devon-based club for just over a year, having signed from Halifax in January 2024.

Alli said, “I’m very happy and I feel very blessed to be here at Luton Town. It’s a blessing and a great opportunity for me to see what I can do.”

On his journey up the football pyramid, he said: “It feels fantastic, very similar to this club in recent years. I started off quite low in Non-League, managed to be consistent and have worked really hard and played as well as I could. I’ve worked my way up and here I am today.”
