Scottish international reveals it was ‘heartbreaking’ to miss Luton’s relegation battle and the Euros
Knee injury kept forward out for over six months
​Luton striker Jacob Brown has revealed it was ‘heartbreaking’ to have to miss out on not only Town’s attempts to stay in the Premier League last term, but also the Euro 2024 Finals after suffering a serious knee injury in February.
Having moved to Kenilworth Road in the summer, scoring twice in 19 top flight appearances, the Scotland international’s last outing for the Hatters was coming off the bench in the 4-4 draw at Newcastle United, as his absence coincided with Town’s hopes of staying up plummeting. Rob Edwards’ side could only pick up one more victory in the final few months that Brown and a number of his team-mates missed, a depleted Town squad eventually dropping down to the Championship.
With the problem taking longer than he had hoped to make a full recovery from, it also meant that Brown, who has eight Scottish caps to his name, was also unable to head out to Germany with his country and compete in the Euros as well, Steve Clarke’s men unable to make it out of the group stage. Back in Bedfordshire once more, Brown didn’t feature during pre-season, eventually fit enough to resume training, as the ex-Stoke attacker made his comeback in the 3-1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle recently.
