Can you help provide a 'home from home' for a Luton Town Academy player?

Luton Town Football Club are seeking host families who can provide accommodation for Academy players.

As a host family, you will provide our young players with a safe and comfortable ‘home from home’, for them to live and study in around their training schedule.

Located ideally within a five-mile radius of The Brache, Luton, lodgings should offer good quality accommodation, preferably in a family environment.

Other requirements are the provision of a daily nutritionally balanced evening meal, occasional lunches, access to laundry facilities and wireless internet.

Full and part-time residential accommodation will be required over 10 months of the year to reflect the football season. Temporary accommodation providers are also required for trialist.

We are looking for host families who can accommodate one or two players at a time in separate rooms. The willingness to accommodate players on a short-term basis throughout the season is also desirable.

If you think you are the kind of family who can work with us to play a key role in the development of our young players, then we would like to hear from you.
