Luton Town confirm deadline day deals for Shayden Morris and Ethon Archer

Luton Town confirmed two signings on transfer deadline day to sign Shayden Morris and Ethon Archer.

Morris has joined from Aberdeen, with the 23-year-old moving from Scotland for an undisclosed fee and signing a deal of undisclosed length at Kenilworth Road.

Meanwhile, Archer arrives at Luton for an undisclosed fee from Cheltenham Town, with the Hatters confirming the 23-year-old will stay with the Robins until January before moving to Kenilworth Road for good.

The double deal sees Luton confirm their 11th and 12th new signings of the 2025 summer transfer window.

Morris arrives back in England after 3 years with Aberdeen, who he joined from Fleetwood Town in 2022.

The winger had an acclaimed final season at Pittodrie, where he made nearly 50 appearances in all competitions as Aberdeen won the Scottish Cup – their first major honours since 2014.

Morris also earned individual acclaim, with the winger named as the Scottish side’s Player of the Year.

In an arrival interview with the official Luton Town website, Morris voiced his excitement to make the move to Bedfordshire.

He said, “I want to excite the fans and get them off their seats, score goals and get assists and I feel, after speaking with the manager, that this is the place I can do that.

“This is an ambitious club, a massive club, with really passionate fans, and as soon as I knew this could be happening, I looked closely at the club and the squad, and it’s really strong.

“I’m also an ambitious person who wants to be playing and winning football matches – and play at the highest level. That’s why I chose Luton.”

Meanwhile, Archer will join Luton for an undisclosed fee but will stay with the Robins until January.

The attacker, who predominantly plays as a left-winger, had joined Cheltenham from Torquay in 2024, and has scored 7 in 52 appearances for the Robins.

He said, “I’m delighted to be here and so happy this deal got over the line. As soon as I heard about it I thought it was a no-brainer, something I definitely had to go for.

“This is a very big club. It’s been in the Premier League not too long ago, in the Championship last season, and I know they have aspirations of getting back to that level, so this is something I definitely want to be a part of.

“The facilities are unreal. I can’t wait to get going here in January and I just know it’s going to aid my development, 100 per cent.”
