Ireland international Chiedozie Ogbene secures Premier League move

Ireland international Chiedozie Ogbene has secured a Premier League move with Luton, it has been confirmed.

Ogbene has been one of the star performers for Rotherham and Ireland and has been rewarded with a Premier League transfer.

The 26-year-old's transfer will be confirmed on 1 July and Luton Manager Rob Edwards hailed the move.

He said of the transfer: "“Chio is a really exciting addition and is someone we’ve liked for a while. We got to look at him a lot last season in preparing to play against him and his Rotherham team, and in my opinion he was their best and most threatening player.

“Chio also brings experience of top level football. He’s an Irish international and he’s played in some high level games and done well in them, particularly against France who are one of the best nations in the world.

While Ogbene said: "“My journey is special to me. I come from Rotherham United, who I spent four seasons with and where I achieved some great things with some great people. But to be considered to be a Luton Town player with an opportunity to feature in the Premier League was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.”

And added: “I’m just excited to be here. To feature in the Premier League is everyone’s dream and I’m really happy for the opportunity.”
