Hatters trio officially confirm deals

Lawless, 27, pictured, joined the Hatters from York City in 2010 and has played 75 times, scoring seven goals.

His contract was due to be extended after reaching a certain amount of appearances in a Hatters shirt and the deal was officially signed on Wednesday.

Carney, 18, made his debut as a substitute in the 2-1 FA Trophy victory at Welling United in December 2010, before suffering a broken leg for Town’s U18s in an FA Youth Cup tie.

He is now back to full fitness though and returned to pre-season training with the first team on Monday.

Ann, also 18, earned his first appearance for Luton in the Trophy, coming off the bench in the second half of the 4-0 win over Uxbridge in January 2011, while also featuring in the same competition last season.

Manager Paul Buckle said: “It’s great to have these three lads on board for next season.

“Alex is only 27 but has bags of experience while Alasan and Newman are up-and-coming youngsters who have an awful lot of potential.

“For those two, the hard work starts now – they have become professionals and are now part of the first team squad. It’s up to them to impress me.

“Our club has a terrific history of producing young talent and, with the help of senior pros like Alex, I am confident that they will flourish and become important players for us.”
