• Wycombe ‘disappointed’ by Bloomfield’s decision to go
• He takes over from Rob Edwards with club 20th

Matt Bloomfield has been appointed as Luton’s manager on a three-and-a-half-year contract. The 40-year-old takes charge after Rob Edwards agreed to step down last week.

Bloomfield arrives from the League One promotion hopefuls Wycombe and inherits a team 20th in the Championship table, two points above the relegation zone. His first game comes at home to Preston on Saturday.
