Luton boss Rob Edwards has stated that midfielder Louie Watson needs to play his football ‘somewhere else’ this season.

Exciting updates are coming from Luton Town as manager Rob Edwards has shared plans for midfielder Louie Watson. In a recent announcement, Edwards revealed that Watson will be exploring new opportunities for the upcoming season.

Watson, a 23-year-old talent, joined Luton Town in July 2022 during Nathan Jones’ tenure. He made a notable impression with his Championship debut in a thrilling 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town on January 1, 2023. Over the course of the season, Watson made nine appearances. However, as Luton Town ascended to the Premier League, he was loaned to Charlton Athletic in League One last September.

During his time with Charlton, Watson showcased his skills in 27 matches and netted a goal. Unfortunately, he did not feature after February 10, following a managerial change at Charlton. As the new season approaches, Watson has yet to be seen in any of Luton’s pre-season fixtures.

Edwards clarified the situation, saying, “Louie is someone who will need to seek playing time elsewhere this season. We discussed this from the start of pre-season, and that’s the current plan.” This move opens up new possibilities for Watson as he continues to develop his career in a different setting.
