Luton Town have bolstered their Championship squad with the signing of striker Millenic Alli from League One side Exeter City. The 24-year-old Dublin-born forward has impressed with his goalscoring exploits this season, netting 12 times for the Grecians. Alli's pace, power, and dribbling ability are expected to add a new dimension to Luton's attack as they battle to avoid relegation.
Luton Town have signed Dublin-born striker Millenic Alli from Exeter City for an undisclosed fee. Alli has been in scintillating goalscoring form this season for League One outfit Exeter City , netting 12 times in total. Since the start of December, the 24-year-old has scored eight goals in the league, including four in his last three games. Alli scored twice in Exeter's 6-2 defeat to Leyton Orient on Tuesday night, and was also on target in last Saturday's 3-1 loss against Blackpool.
Alli joined Exeter from National League side FC Halifax Town last January. He began his career as a youth at Bury before playing in non-League football at South Shields, Workington, Ashton United, Stockport County, Chorley, and Halifax, where he also won the FA Trophy in 2023. Luton Town are currently 23rd in the Championship and travel to face Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow. Luton manager Matt Bloomfield said: 'Milli is a player who we have come up against a few times and he's always impressed with his pace, power and individual dribbling ability to get his team up the pitch. 'If you look at the goals he has scored – even Tuesday evening, two headers, one at the back post – he's a brave boy, and with his Non-League background, he has a real hunger to prove himself at the levels above. 'Physically, he's got the capabilities to step up and with some work on the training ground with us, and that desire and pace at the top of the pitch, we believe that he can be a good asset for us both now and developing further into the future. 'Milli is a signing we are really pleased to get over the line and we're looking forward to working with him.' Speaking to the club website, Alli said: 'I'm very happy and I feel very blessed to be here at Luton Town. It's a blessing and a great opportunity for me to see what I can do. 'It feels fantastic, very similar to this club in recent years. I started off quite low in Non-League, managed to be consistent and have worked really hard and played as well as I could. I’ve worked my way up and here I am today.
