Dan Potts makes Luton Town admission over recent club role

Luton Town defender Dan Potts says he doesn’t feel any added pressure when captaining the Hatters.

Potts has featured on just five occasions for the Hatters this campaign after missing a large chunk of the season due to injury.

On his return, he was stuck on the bench, until earlier this month when the door was opened for his return.

Having missed a lot of time out through injury this season, Dan Potts finally seems to be getting his opportunity in Nathan Jones’ side.

The fact he has captained the club in the last two only shows the trust that the manager has
