Osano hopes Luton fans will understand him

Barely a week ago, Kenyan-born defender Curtis Osano had expressed optimism that his contract with England’s Conference National League side Lutton Town will be renewed.

However, yesterday [Tuesday 29 May] he was a confirmed signee of League Two’s AFC Wimbledon.

Tough decision

As exciting as the move maybe for the 25-year old, he regards it a necessary decision in the progression of his career, though it may appear like a betrayal to Luton fans.

-I played a full part for Luton and to lose in the play-off final at Wembley was heartbreaking, bedfordshire-news.co.uk.

-I enjoyed it at Luton and I learned a lot from both Gary Brabin and Paul Buckle, the two managers, during my time there.

-There was 30,000 fans there who came to support us and I think when we came off the pitch they knew that we had given our all.

-I think they will understand why I have left. It is not a case of me jumping ship, it is because I want to progress.

-I think if you ask any player who has a chance to move up to the Football League, they will take it.
