Luton Town have completed the signing of Marvelous Nakamba from Aston Villa.

Nakamba has signed a three-year deal and joins for an undisclosed fee.

The Zimbabwe midfielder played a big role in Luton's Premier League promotion last season and said: "I'm very excited to be back home at Luton to continue the journey.

"When I joined on loan, I felt love from everyone - the manager, the board, the staff, the players and the fans.

"I was welcomed as part of the family and that pushed me to give everything for this club and help achieve the goal we had last season, which we did."

Hatters boss Rob Edwards said: "We - the supporters, the board, the staff and the players - all fell in love with Marv for what he gave us.

"Not just his work ethic, but his humility. He's so unassuming; he just slotted in from day one and it felt like he had been at Luton for 10 years.

"I think he felt that love. Everyone felt that he enjoyed himself and that it felt like home for him. That's why it is special because he felt it was right, he felt comfortable, at home - and now he is.

"As a footballer, he was the glue that knitted us together."
