Luton Town announce signing of former Partick Thistle right back Stephen O’Donnell

LUTON Town have announced the signing of former Partick Thistle right back Stephen O’Donnell.

O’Donnell, who was out of contract at the Firhill Stadium, was drawing interest from then-Championship side Blackpool during the January transfer window and has signed an initial two year deal at Kenilworth Road.

A bid rumoured to be around £100,000 from Blackpool for the highly-rated defender was rejected by The Jags, who will now be plying his trade at Kenilworth Road.

A product of the Celtic academy and a former Scotland under 21 international, O’Donnell can operate either as a full back or further up field as a utility winger.

He made 139 appearances in four seasons while at Partick Thistle, scoring 10 goals.
