Former Chelsea and England midfielder Ross Barkley has joined Premier League new boys Luton Town on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old, capped 33 times by his country, was a free agent after leaving Ligue 1 club Nice this summer.
“Ross brings loads of experience at the top level, has international experience and brings an X-factor,” Hatters boss Rob Edwards told the club website.
Top-flight newcomers Luton begin their first-ever season in the Premier League on Saturday with a visit to Brighton.
Barkley has made more than 200 top-flight appearances for boyhood club Everton, Chelsea and Aston Villa and played for England at the 2014 World Cup.
“Why Luton? Going from the Conference to the Premier League is a great story and for me personally to be back in the Premier League, it’s great motivation,” he said.
