Luton Town Football Club can confirm that former manager Nathan Jones is taking some key members of his backroom staff with him to Stoke City.

First-team coach Joaquin Gomez and head of sports science Jared Roberts-Smith will join Jones at the Sky Bet Championship club with immediate effect.

We thank both Joaquin and Jared for their service over the past two-and-a-half years and wish them well in their future careers.

Assistant-manager Steve Rutter and goalkeeper coach Kevin Dearden remain as key members of interim boss Mick Harford's staff.
