News has broken, in the last hour-or-so, that the Hatters have added another goalkeeper to their squad.
According to the Nottingham Post, Nathan Jones and his backroom team have moved swiftly to sign the USA international keeper, Ethan Horvath.
The signing is a loan deal with Horvath joining Luton for the whole of the 2022/2023 season.
This latest deal means that there will be stiff competition for the place between the posts with Horvath competing with Matt Macey, Harry Isted and James Shea once he returns from injury.
Our referenced source implies that Horvath has agreed to the move as he needs regular football to secure his place in the USA squad for the forthcoming World Cup, in Qatar.
With Matt Macey also joining us this summer, it’ll certainly be interesting to see who Nathan Jones favours in those early Championship fixtures.
However, you must have some sympathy for Harry Isted who has now been pushed further down the pecking order despite never letting Luton Town down when he has made his all too rare appearances.
But when it comes to that opening Championship fixture, against Birmingham City, who do you see wearing the goalkeeping jersey?

Interestingly, Horvath becomes the third USA international keeper to play for the Hatters following in the footsteps of Ian Feuer and Jurgen Sommer who clocked up 1 and 10 caps respectively, compared to the 8 earned by Horvath so far.
