Former Aberdeen winger Shayden Morris says it felt like “the perfect time” to move on after the “amazing achievement” of winning last season’s Scottish Cup.
The English winger, 23, arrived at the Dons from Fleetwood Town in the summer of 2022 and joined English League One side Luton Town on Monday, which was transfer deadline day.
Morris, who scored on his Luton debut against Barnet earlier this week, says this opportunity to head south was one he had to take.
“Last season, winning player of the year and then to finish with the Scottish Cup, it was an amazing achievement for me and I did feel like then it was the perfect time to move on,” he explained.
“When I heard about Luton, for me it was the best thing I could have done. I know they want to get back to the Championship. I want to play in the Championship. I found this as the best stepping stone to get back in to the Championship.”
And he added: “I see the ambition, it is a great squad with a brilliant manager so this was definitely the best place.
“When I heard they were interested, I actually felt privileged to be wanted by Luton. They are a massive club so I said to my agent straight away, ‘this is where I want to be’ and we fought hard to make it happen.”
