Doherty is currently with Charlton Athletic, but has only played five times for the League One side this season.

The Addicks have reportedly received a number of loan requests from League Two clubs for the 31-year-old centre-half and Town boss Gary Brabin revealed Luton had also been in contact over the former Republic of Ireland defender.

He said: “There’s a little bit of truth in it. We know Gary’s a Luton boy.

“There was an injury crisis and we went to see if he fancied it.

“It never went any deeper than that.”
