Smith hoping for a permanent Luton move

Parent club York had intimated they may recall him on Monday, but as yet that hasn’t materialised.

The 26-year-old said: “I’m desperate to stay here as I’m really enjoying working under the gaffer, and playing in front of a big crowd every week.

“Playing for a club with ambition of this size, that’s what I want. A team that’s challenging at the top, I think it brings out the best in me.

“Everyone wants to win the league here and I want to be a part of that, because I can see we can win the league.”
