Derby County Signs Striker Carlton Morris from Relegated Luton

Carlton Morris has signed a three-year contract with Derby County, marking his return to the Championship after leaving Luton Town, where he was captain and a key player in their promotion to the Premier League. Morris scored 20 goals in Luton's promotion season and was the first Luton player to score in the Premier League, but the club suffered back-to-back relegations, prompting his move. Derby County sees Morris as an important addition to strengthen their attack, and the striker is excited to play regularly at Pride Park, impressed by the stadium's atmosphere during previous matches. Luton manager Matt Bloomfield praised Morris's contributions and wishes him well, acknowledging his desire to continue his career at a higher level. Morris himself highlighted his readiness to develop further under Derby's coaching staff and aims to enter the prime stage of his career as a striker. Derby will kick off their new Championship season with an away game at Stoke City, followed by a Carabao Cup match and their first home league fixture.
