Luton Town midfielder Elliot Thorpe has joined Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan.

Thorpe played for Shrews boss Matt Taylor with Tottenham U18s.

The 22 year-old told the Shrews' official website: I've known Matt for quite a few years now, he's a great coach and a really good person, so when I knew of the interest, I was very keen to pursue it.

"He's a good coach, I know how he wants to play, so it's a perfect fit for me.

"He demands a lot, he wants 100 per cent and that's a given really in any walk of life, in any job you're in.

"He's good with young players, as I worked with him a few years ago, he was definitely a big driving force in me coming here.

"I know the club's a fantastic club anyway, but to top it off with Matt being the coach, it was a big pull for me."
