McGeehan ready to make step up

McGeehan, 18, was captain of the Canaries side that won the FA Youth Cup last season, scoring in both legs of a 4-3 aggregate over Chelsea.

The midfielder, who was once signed by Chelsea for £80,000 as a 10-year-old, knows playing in Conference will be a completely different scenario.

He said: “The Youth Cup final is a really big occasion, everyone’s really up for it and it was played at a good intensity.

“Hopefully that will help me to play at this level as it’s a step up.

“The training is a lot harder, intensity a lot higher, I’m just getting used to the tempo.

Although on John Still’s wanted list for quite a while, the boss and McGeehan admitted the move had been helped by goalkeeping coach Jeff Wood, who had been at the Canaries prior to joining Luton’s backroom staff.
