Jack Wilshere has been announced as the new Luton Town first-team manager.

The appointment marks an entry point into full-time senior management for the former Arsenal and England midfielder, who left Norwich at the end of last season.

Chris Powell will be Wilshere's assistant.

The former Arsenal and England midfielder wanted someone with obvious experience alongside him in the new role, and so had persuaded Powell to join him.

Powell has previously been in charge of Charlton, Huddersfield, Leicester and Derby.

"It's a huge honour and a privilege to be named Luton Town manager," Wilshere said.

"It feels like a full-circle moment for me. I was eight when I first came to Luton as a boy, so I guess you could say it's fate that my first full-time club managerial position is at this club.
