The Deal<\/h3>\n

Luton announced via their website they had signed the midfielder. O\u2019Kane returns to Luton on a permanent deal signing an 18-month contract.<\/p>\n

The midfielder returns for a second spell at Kenilworth after his loan last season was cut short. O\u2019Kane suffered a double leg break in just his third game for the club. He’s back, though, to help them in a relegation battle rather than a promotion push.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Kane brings some much-needed experience and steel to a young Luton midfield. He has struggled to make an impact since joining Leeds but will hope to flourish in Luton\u2019s midfield.<\/p>\n

The midfielder could make his debut for Luton when they face West Bromwich Albion<\/a> this weekend. However, due to the nature of his injury, Luton will not rush him back.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the Luton website about his return, O\u2019Kane said<\/a>: \u201cWhen I arrived here, I immediately fell in love with the place. I did feel a part of the group last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been around, and I\u2019ve seen a few games, so I do have a soft spot for here already and I\u2019m really excited to be back. There\u2019s been a lot of changes since I was last here, but I\u2019m excited to get going again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club have always been in contact with me, checking how I am. There have been multiple conversations about coming back in different windows, so it\u2019s good to finally be in a position where I\u2019m close to playing, hopefully, and be able to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manager Graeme Jones added<\/a>: \u201cEunan\u2019s got a real strong feeling for the club and I love that about him because sometimes you either get a club or you don\u2019t, and he\u2019s really got this club and bought into it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said to me that he felt at home immediately when he was here last season, and although it was only his third game in that he broke his leg against Bristol Rovers, that attachment and connection to the people here has never really left him, which is a big plus.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of that, he has undoubted quality and pedigree. We\u2019ll have to work for a few weeks to get him up to speed. We\u2019ve got to get him more robust and have got to get some volume into him, as he hasn\u2019t trained at all with Leeds, but we are delighted to get him in for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n
