Buckle delighted by Emberson appointment

STRAIGHT-TALKING ex-Hatter Carl Emberson has been added to manager Paul Buckle’s coaching staff, writes Mark Wood.

The former Luton keeper rejoined the club as first team development coach and took his first training session on Monday when the first team squad returned to pre-season training.

Buckle worked with Emberson when in charge at Bristol Rovers and greatly values the 38-year-old’s input.

Emberson made 60 appearances between the posts in two years at Kenilworth Road between 2001-03 having signed from Colchester United.

Buckle said: “I know this is someone who is going to make the squad stronger and make the coaching staff stronger.”
