Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski departs club to sign for Charlton Athletic

Luton Town goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski has been sold to Charlton Athletic for an undisclosed fee.

The 32-year-old Belgian goalkeeper has signed a three year contract to join Charlton, who were promoted after winning the League One play-offs in May.

Kaminski moves after two years at Kenilworth Road, having joined Luton in 2023 from Blackburn Rovers after they won promotion to the Premier League.

In his time with the club, Kaminski made 85 appearances in all competitions, missing just one league game in his two seasons in Bedfordshire.

Among his accolades at Luton included winning the Premier League Save of the Month Award in November 2023 for a fine double stop in a win over Crystal Palace, with that save also later shortlisted for the Premier League’s Save of the Season award.

In a social media post saying goodbye, Kaminski thanked everyone at Luton for their time with him.

He said, “Time to say goodbye to a club that will always have a place in my heart.

“These past two seasons have been full of challengers. There were tough moments, no doubt, but also memories I’ll carry with me forever. Through it all, what stood out was the incredible support of the fans.

“Even when things didn’t go our way, your passion never faded. You kept believing, kept pushing, kept showing up. That’s what makes this club special and I truly believe Luton Town will be back where it belongs very soon.

“Thank you to my teammates, the staff and everyone behind the scenes. Until next time, Hatters.”

Charlton Manager Nathan Jones told the Addicks’ website that he felt Kaminski was an excellent upgrade in the goalkeeper position.

He said, “I’m very pleased because it’s a wonderful signing. Thomas was outstanding for Luton in the Premier League and he was outstanding last season in the Championship as well. For me, he’s one of the best goalkeepers in the division. We wanted to strengthen on all levels and improve every department, and we feel that the signing of Thomas does that.”
