04 Jul 2007
Luton continue to be busy in the transfer market after completing the signing of Paul Furlong.
The much-travelled striker completed all the necessary paperwork at Kenilworth Road on Wednesday morning, signing a one-year contract.
Furlong, 38, is the fourth signing by Hatters boss Kevin Blackwell, following the arrival of Darren Currie, Alan Goodall and David Edwards.
The striker started his career with non-league Enfield before moving to Coventry City in a £130,000 deal.
During his year spent at Coventry, Furlong made 44 appearances, scoring four goals as the Club managed to stave off relegation from Division One during the 1991-92 season.
A move to Watford followed and during his time at Vicarage Road he made 92 appearances, hitting the target 41 times before a money spinning move to Chelsea followed.
The London club splashed out £2.3 million on the striker and during two years of playing in the Premiership he made 85 appearances and scored 17 times.
Birmingham City broke their record transfer fee in July 1996 and took Furlong to St Andrews when they splashed out £1.5 million for his services.
Furlong made a real impact at Birmingham and became a popular player scoring 56 goals during 153 appearances.
Furlong has already worked with Blackwell during a loan spell at Sheffield United, which was sandwiched between two loan spells at QPR, where he eventually made a permanent move in September 2002.
At Loftus Road, Furlong became a real fans favourite. After a frustrating start to his career at the London club due to injury, he made just short of 200 appearances, scoring 55 goals.
Talking to this website, Furlong said: "I haven't arrived just to make the numbers up. I want to be part of things and try to get promotion.
"I can tell, having spoken to Kevin Blackwell, that despite the Club being relegated last season, the ambition is very high.
"I feel there will be interesting times here at Luton next season. I still have a lot to offer and I believe I can do a job for the Club next season." Luton Official Site
