After just 3 appearances for the Hatters, the Luton Town career of Harry Isted is over.
Unlike a previous occasion, where Luton released Harry and then re-signed him beofre a new started, due to a lack of goalkeeper coverage, this tie the severance is permanent.
As we reported yesterday – released-luton-player-joins-south-london-league-one-side – Isted has signed a two-year deal with Charlton Athletic.
Harry had been with the Hatters since 2017, during which time he never made a league appearance for the club, sxpending time on loan at:
• Chesham United
• Oxford City
• Wealdstone Town (3 spells)
• Barnsley
For somebody who only made the 3 appearances, all in cup competitions for the Hatters, Isted certainly made an impression among the support, as the following social media posts show:
An amazing keeper when called upon. A little gutted he never got a good run in the first team but he deserves to be a first keeper. Hope he enjoys it. All the best!

Indeed, with Harry, seemingly, not rated by the coaching staff, a parting of the ways was best for all.
However, with the Hatters, apparently, as covered by us, not interested in signing Ethan Horvath in a permanent deal, the current situation is that our goalkeeping contingent consists of:
• James Shea
• Jack Walton
• Matt Macey
Sticking my head above the parapet, I’m not sure any of the above are good enough to be classified as a top-flight keeper, are you?
It looks like a move for a keeper could be a Luton Town priority.

I’m adamant that Luton have let the wrong keeper go an I know which of the remaining three will never be good enough for the premier or championship!!!!
I was not disappointed to see Horvarth go (I wish him well).
! was sad to see isted go. It was a shame that heb was not given a chance to prove himself because the few times I/we saw him, I thought he did very well. Indeed, given time (last year) I think he would have done better than Horvarth.
I thought his parting words were very charitable considering the shameful way Jones treated him. Good luck Harry with the rest of your career
