Striker Jordan Cook has agreed a two-year-deal to join League Two outfit Luton after turning down a new contract with Walsall.

The 26-year-old netted nine times in 83 appearances for the Saddlers after joining on a free transfer from Charlton in 2014.

Cook, who began his career with Premier League Sunderland, had been offered a 12-month extension to remain at the Banks's Stadium.

But the striker has instead opted to start a fresh chapter in his career and has completed a move to Kenilworth Road.

Cook put pen to paper on the deal today after flying out to join up with his new team mates at a pre-season training camp in Hungary.

He said: "Yesterday was a long day - I set off quite early from Sunderland to get to Kenilworth Road.

"But I was made to feel welcome at the stadium and then got on a flight out here. Once, I met the lads they all made me feel welcome, and I can't wait to get started now.

"I had a light session yesterday evening by myself, because of all the travelling I'd done, but now I can't wait to get stuck in and get started as a Luton Town player.

"I spoke to my parents and my agen, and I don't see it as a massive drop down, coming to a League Two club. Luton is a massive club, with a big fan-base and it's going places."
