'If It's Football, It's Vital'

Only 1 Scholar to sign

Goalkeeper Zach Barrett is the only final year scholar who will be offered professional terms by Luton Town.

This is somewhat surprising news to me, since Green, Sinclair, Deeney and Mountford have featured regularly in the reserves team which tops the Pontins Holidays Combination League East Division, whereas Zach has hardly played in the team.

I have seen Zach play for the youth team and indeed have officiated matches in which he has played and he looks the part. Congratulations to him; I hope his development continues and he has a long and happy professional career.

I have seen the reserves play on a few occasions this season, and I was particularly impressed with David Deeney, who must consider himself particularly unlucky to have failed to achieve a contract. It is my guess that Luton's promotion to the Championship did him no favours and I am confident that both he, and Nick Mountford, will make it as professionals, perhaps with a lower division side.

No doubt they will come back and bite Luton in the 'arris' at some point!

Marvin Johnson was quoted as saying that it a sad part of his job to have to impart this sort of bad news to aspiring players who have worked so hard.

Meanwhile, Pembleton has been given an extra year as a scholar since he missed almost a whole season with a broken leg.
