Leeds United loanee opens up on 'great' spell away amid Championship playoff chase

Leeds United loanee Cody Drameh has claimed he only needed the 'minutes and experience' given to him at Luton Town in order to start to truly progress as a player.

The 21-year-old has been loving life with the Hatters since his move in late January which will see him there until the end of the Championship season - which could include a playoff trip to Wembley for Rob Edwards' side.

"We would have loved to be closer to the automatic spots," Drameh told the club's in-house media after their draw against Reading at the Madejski Stadium.

"We just have to keep the momentum going, keep the run going and hopefully go all the way. It’s going to be tough for all the teams that are in the play-offs but we need to keep doing our simple things, keep the grit, keep the togetherness and just keep going."

Since Drameh arrived at Kenilworth Road, Luton have conceded from open play in just one of their last 16 matches, with the Hatters beginning to peak at the perfect time with just three matches left in the season.

The Whites youngster has played an instrumental part in their run up to third in the league, and believes his loan spell has provided him with plenty of time on the pitch - something he didn't get under Jesse Marsch at Leeds.

"It’s been great. Some of the fans reactions are really nice to see and the team have welcomed me in really well as well as the supporters, so thank you to them.

"I just needed minutes and experience, playing with these types of players, playing with the manager, it’s been great for my development."
