Luton's Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu set to play for same club in National League and Premier League

Luton midfielder Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu felt like he had 'completed football' after securing promotion to the Premier League.

With the scores level after extra time, the Hatters won 6-5 on penalties to send them into England's top flight just nine years after their return to the EFL following five years as a non-league side.

Mpanzu, who has made 30 appearances this season, is now the first player in history to win promotion from the fifth tier to the Premier League with the same club.

If he remains at Kenilworth Road next season, he'll also become the first player to represent the same team in the National (then Conference) League and Premier League.

'I feel like I've completed football!' He said after Saturday's win. 'I can retire right now. It's been a journey, been through the highs and lows, but in the end you've got to believe in yourself.'

The 29-year-old has made 322 league appearances for Luton across four divisions after signing from West Ham in January 2014.

He continued: 'Here I am, Premier League player with this man [Carlton Morris] next to me, these boys [the fans], it's going to be a party all summer in Luton!'

The promotion for Rob Edwards' side sees them return to the top flight for the first time since 1992.

It will be their first appearance in the Premier League, a return marred only by a worrying injury to captain Tom Lockyer.

The 28-year-old fell while running towards his own goal and was unable to get up, but was conscious as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher.

Luton have since tweeted that Lockyer is 'responsive' and recovering in hospital with his family.
