Released Luton Town Star Set To Sign For League One Promotion Contenders

Charlton Athletic are on the verge of signing former Luton Town defender Dan Potts on a contract until January, as reported by South London Press journalist Richard Cawley on X.

The 30-year-old left-back, who left Luton Town at the end of last season, is expected to link up with the League One side after a trial period during pre-season. Potts, who made 216 appearances for Luton during his eight-year spell at Kenilworth Road, played a crucial role in the club’s rise from League Two to the Premier League.

However, following the Hatters’ relegation at the end of the 2022/23 season, the decision was made to part ways with the defender, and he became a free agent in June.

Charlton manager Nathan Jones, who previously worked with Potts at Luton, expressed his admiration for the player: “He has had a wonderful journey and played in the Premier League. He has played in play-off finals, scored penalties in a winning final and has done fantastically well for me.”

“He has been around and we’ve had a look at him. There will be a decision on him very soon. Provided they can still contribute then they work as catalysts in the environment. They help others as well. I wouldn’t bring Dan Potts in if he wasn’t a real example in terms of how goes about his work – how he trains, how he does stuff and is a leader in the changing room and so on.”

Potts could make a valuable addition to Charlton as they continue their promising start to the season, having picked up nine points from their opening four games. They opened their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Wigan Athletic, followed by wins against Leyton Orient (1-0) and Bolton Wanderers (2-0). They were beaten by Reading at the end of August, leaving them with nine points from a possible 12.
