Robert Snodgrass signs for Luton Town
Former Albion and Villa midfielder Robert Snodgrass has joined Championship promotion hopefuls Luton Town until the end of the season.
Snodgrass had his Hawthorns contract terminated by mutual consent at the end of the transfer window.
He unites with fellow former Villa players Henri Lansbury, James Bree and Jed Steer at Kenilworth Road.
Manager Nathan Jones said: “We’ve brought Snoddy in because of the experience he gives us, the wonderful quality that he has, and it became the right time to do it.
“We’ve been looking for a left footed midfield player for a while and we’ve picked up a few injuries in the midfield area, and so he ticks a lot of boxes."
Luton currently sit in 8th spot in the Championship, five points ahead of Albion with a game in hand.
“He’s got play-off experience, he’s got Premier League experience and he is known to a number of our players and staff, so we know he’s the type of character that we want in here," said Jones.
“It gives us something different now we are in the final third of the season and he’ll give us a little bit of a push towards the run-in.
“We know the quality he’s got, we know where he’s been, and with the number of injuries we’ve had, it gives us cover in that area because our midfielders have had to do big shifts.
“We’ve had Luke Berry and Jordan Clark out for a spell, and then Allan and Pelly have had to do massive shifts along with Henri, so the time was right, and I thank the board for doing it.”
