League Two club eyeing 26-year-old after Luton Town release.
Luton Town let go of Admiral Muskwe in the summer and he’s now training with Harrogate Town, according to Pete O’Rourke.
Luton Town let a number of players go following their relegation from the Premier League and among those to depart was Zimbabwean striker Admiral Muskwe.
The 26-year-old had been on the books since joining from Leicester City in 2021 but he struggled to break into the Hatters’ first-team and spent two spells out on loan away from Kenilworth Road.

Muskwe spent the 2023/24 campaign with League One side Exeter City before his release, but since being let go in the summer, he has remained a free agent on the lookout for a new club.
However, after a few months out of the game, the former Luton Town man may have a route back.
Writing on X, reporter Pete O’Rourke has revealed that the former Hatters striker is the subject of interest from Harrogate Town. The Sulphurites have brought him in to train with Simon Weaver’s first-team squad and are weighing up a free transfer swoop for his services.

Yorkshire outfit Harrogate play their football in League Two and currently sit 17th in the table after 17 matches this season.
After his departure from Luton Town, Muskwe will be hoping to get back in the game as soon as possible. Harrogate Town could be the ones to offer him a route back.

Muskwe hasn’t had the most prolific of senior careers after catching the eye in youth football. 39 Championship outings have yielded three goals and one assist, while he managed the same in 18 League One outings.
He’s only played five games in League Two but hasn’t managed a goal contribution. Perhaps he could change that with a move to Weaver’s side.
Harrogate have James Daly, Josh March and Jack Muldoon as their main options up top.

Since leaving Luton…
While Muskwe has remained out of the game, former club Luton Town have struggled on their return to Championship football after relegation from the Premier League.
There have been some more promising signs of late for the Hatters. However, for the most part, results continue to elude them.
Rob Edwards’ side sit 16th in the table as it stands. They were beaten by promotion hopefuls Leeds United routinely in the week, losing 3-0 at Elland Road.
They’re back in action against Norwich City this weekend.
