Luton Town
“ I ’ ve been in sides that have got promoted and sides that have done well , and there are moments in seasons that are key moments . I think this is one of them .”
Summer signing Danny Hylton has already proved a massive hit with 14 goals before Christmas , and the striker who helped Oxford win promotion last season recently penned a new contract to keep him at Kenilworth Road until the summer of 2019 .
Goalkeeper Christian Walton , on a season-long loan from Brighton , picked up his first cap for England Under-21s as reward for his performances behind the division ’ s tightest defence . Centre-half and captain Scott Cuthbert was rewarded for some dominant displays with a contract extension after making his 50th start for the club , while local lad James Justin , an 18-year-old full-back who has been with his hometown club since the age of seven , has also been secured long-term .
A blow arrived in the form of 11-goal midfielder Cameron McGeehan suffering a broken leg 13 minutes into the opening match of 2017 at Portsmouth , but Jones has been able to strengthen in the January transfer window with attacking midfielders Lawson D ’ Ath and Luke Gambin joining from Northampton and Barnet respectively .
Building on the club ’ s successful academy ’ s run to the quarter-final of the FA Youth Cup last season while winning the EFL Youth Alliance South-East Division league and cup double , Jones had handed senior debuts to 11 players who have come through the ranks at Kenilworth Road in his first ten months at the club .
Many of those appearances have come in the Checkatrade Trophy , with the Hatters beating four higher-level sides to progress to a last-eight clash with the manager ’ s former playing club , Yeovil Town , despite being fined £ 15,000 for fielding what the EFL felt were below-strength teams in the group stages . They also beat Championship giants Aston Villa
