Luton Town have announced the signing of USA international goalkeeper, Ethan Horvath, on a season-long loan from Nottingham Forrest.
The 27-year-old shot stopper joins with a host of experience under his belt, winning the Belgian League with Club Brugge on three occasions and featuring in the Champions League during his four year spell with the side.
Speaking to Luton Town, he said:
“It was a long journey to get the job done but I’m really happy to be here.”
“It has been a fantastic day so far. The people have been really nice, the club has a real family feel to it, which I like. There are good people in the business and you want good people to help you succeed.”
Having helped Forrest back to the Premier League after a 22-year hiatus, Horvath felt that now was the time to play on a more regular basis:
“It was a whirlwind season at Forest, from the first eight games to have one point or whatever it was, to then getting promoted – I couldn’t be happier for the boys.”
“It was a really long season and they got their reward in the end, but at the end of the day I needed to look myself in the mirror and the number one priority was playing time, and Luton were quick to come into the picture. Both parties worked really, really hard to get it done and I can’t wait to get started.”
Luton Town manager, Nathan Jones believes his experience will help raise the level of the squad:
“He's played in the Champions League and he’s an international looking to go to the World Cup, so he has fantastic pedigree and we wanted to increase or significantly improve the goalkeeping department this summer."
"He’s someone that showed a real desire to want to play for us. That was the good thing. I loved his character and knew all about his ability, and then he had a real desire to get this done. That’s what we want here."
