As the winter transfer window has now closed, we take a look back at the squad changes that we have made throughout the month.
With Lamine Fanne ending the Allsvenskan season on a high with AIK, he joined up with his Luton teammates at the turn of the year, while we also announced the signing of Congolese international Christ Makosso on New Year’s Eve.
Guyana international Isaiah Jones was the next signing in the door at Kenilworth Road, who joined on 10th January from fellow Championship side Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.
As we welcomed manager Matt Bloomfield to the club four days later, the boss explained: “We’re trying to get what we believe is right and what we know is right to complement the players we already have here.”
Bim Pepple, Jameson Horlick and Oli Lynch went back out on loan to Chesterfield, Bedford Town and Hemel Hempstead Town respectively, while Jacob Pinnington and Aidan Francis-Clarke both joined Braintree Town on loan until the end of the season. Erik Pieters and Josh Odell-Bature both left the club after their contracts expired.
Huddersfield Town signed striker Joe Taylor for an undisclosed fee, while Allan Campbell also departed the club, going back north of the border and joining Dundee United.
We said goodbye to German midfielder Tom Krauß, whose season-long loan from Mainz was terminated due to personal reasons.
Five new recruits arrived at Kenilworth Road during the final week of the window, starting with the reintroduction of Kal Naismith, joining on loan from Bristol City until the end of the season.
We made it two signings in one day when Thelo Aasgaard was announced late on Tuesday 28th January, coming in for an undisclosed fee from Wigan Athletic and played 87 minutes in our draw against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough last Saturday.
Another addition was forward Millenic Alli, who signed from Exeter City and made his debut off the bench at Hillsborough alongside Josh Bowler, who arrived less than 24 hours after Alli on loan from Nottingham Forest.
Finally on Deadline Day, we landed Aasgaard’s Norwegian Under-21 teammate Lasse Nordås from Tromsø, with Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, Tom Holmes and Cauley Woodrow all securing late loans to Rotherham United, Dender EH and Blackburn Rovers respectively.
