Winger Benagr signs new Luton deal

Winger Benny Benagr has signed a new contract committing his future to Luton Town.

The 18-year-old scored his first goal on his senior debut for the Hatters in their 3-0 win at Gillingham in the first round of the EFL Cup on Saturday.

Benagr has been in the youth academy of his hometown club Luton since Under-9s level.

“The last few weeks have been a bit crazy, but I’ve enjoyed it so much and I’m hungry to keep learning,” he told Luton’s website.

“Benny has dealt with everything that’s been thrown at him in recent weeks,” Luton boss Jack Wilshere added. “He’s taken everything in his stride, and scoring the goal on Saturday was reward for his hard work, but this contract isn’t a result of that.

“It was already in place because he’s shown in a very short space of time exactly why the academy coaches rate him so highly.”

The club have not disclosed the length of Benagr’s new deal.
