Former Luton attacker Chiedozie Ogbene has thanked the Hatters for his ‘unforgettable’ stint at Kenilworth Road after earning an instant return to the Premier League when joining Ipswich Town this morning.
The 27-year-old was only with the Hatters for just over 12 months, as having moved to Bedfordshire on a free transfer from Rotherham United, he went on to play 30 times in the top flight, scoring four goals last term. Having made 39 appearances in all competitions, on target five times, including starting all three Championship matches this campaign, boss Rob Edwards had hoped Ogbene would be part of the squad that tried to get the Hatters back into the big time.
However, with the Tractor Boys forking out an undisclosed fee to give the Republic of Ireland international an immediate return to the highest level of English football, Ogbene opted to make the move to Portman Road, and writing on Instagram, he said: “Dear Hatters. I know it has only been a short spell together but it has been an unforgettable one. The club that gave me the opportunity to prove my doubters wont & live my Premier League dream.
