Luton sign Connor Essam on loan from Gillingham

Luton Town have taken defender Connor Essam on loan from League Two side Gillingham for a month.

The 20-year-old made his full debut in February, playing 18 times last season.

He agreed a three-year contract with the Gills in June but has yet to feature in a competitive match under new boss Martin Allen.

"In Connor we've got someone who had League Two experience last season and did very well,"

"He's a proper centre-half who likes to attack the ball and, at this level, an aerial presence is vital."
