Allan Campbell to leave Luton as Scotland-capped star begins search for next club

Allan Campbell is expected to depart Kenilworth Road this summer, Luton Town head coach Rob Edwards has confirmed. 

The 26-year-old Scottish international first made his name at Motherwell, where he quickly became a fan favourite for his all-action displays in the midfield.

Throughout his time at Fir Park, Campbell earned a reputation as a tireless worker who would cover every blade of grass, while also contributing crucial goals and assists.

But since his move across the border in 2021, Campbell has endured a mixed experience. 

The one-time Motherwell hero did make a lasting impact during his three seasons with Luton Town. Over the course of 86 appearances, he found the back of the net on seven occasions, endearing himself to the club's devoted supporters.

During a pivotal moment in April 2023, Campbell scored the decisive goal as Luton defeated their fierce local rivals, Watford, 2-0 on their home turf. This crucial victory was a significant step in Luton's journey to securing promotion to the English Premier League through the play-offs.

However, he slipped down the pecking order once the Hatters joined England's top-flight, and that resulted in him dropping down to the Championship once again with a loan-spell at Millwall. 

That never went to plan, though. 

Campbell was reduced to just 12 outings and was often excluded from their match day squad altogether. 

“Al will be moving on, but at the moment, he’s training, he’s here with us and that’s brilliant as we love having him around," Edwards clarified when asked about Campbell's future.

"Allan’s an amazing professional and a brilliant guy, but he needs to get his career going again and get playing football as well.

"They’re difficult decisions. We always try and do it very respectfully and be honest with people. We always try to do things with the club’s best interests at heart and always in a way where there’s got to be a human side to it.

"The players want to play and they need to know where they stand as well, so it’s important I have those honest conversations with the lads.”
