Palmer on why he returned to Luton

Luton Town midfielder Kasey Palmer says “there was nothing to sell” from boss Jack Wilshere to convince him to return to the Hatters.

The Jamaica international penned a permanent deal after an impressive loan spell last season that saw him score eight goals in 20 League One appearances.

“I’m buzzing to finally get it done, everyone knew where I stood last season with wanting to come back,” Palmer told BBC Three Counties Radio.

“I believe in what the gaffer is doing. I believe in the staff and I believe we can get promoted this season, that’s the reason I’ve come back.”

But it is not just his ambitions for the team that drew him back to Kenilworth Road.

Palmer’s family are based in Luton and the close proximity is something he enjoys after spending much of his career away from home.

“It helps being with my family,” Palmer said.

“Just little things you take for granted, dropping the kids off at school, going to pick them back up, dinner all around the table. When I was away it was Facetime and trying to catch up and you’ve got a day off and you’re rushing on the motorway.

“Stuff like that becomes mentally draining but that’s the other side people don’t really see.”
