Through their official website, EFL League Two club Grimsby Town have announced the signing of promising Nigerian central defender Akin Famewo on a season-long loan from Luton Town.

The highly-rated 19-year-old stopper penned a one-year contract extension tying him to Luton Town until the end of the 2019-2020 season before heading off to Grimsby Town.

The London born Famewo has 14 games under his belt for Luton Town's first team since making his first team debut against Newport County in August 2016.

The left-footed center back joined The Hatters at U11 level and penned his first professional contract with the newly promoted League One club in July 2016.

Grimsby Town have hinted that Akin Famewo will be in attendance when they face Cleethorpes Town in their opening pre-season game on Saturday, July 7.

Chima Okorie, Iffy Onuora, Diallang Jaiyesimi and James Alabi have represented Grimsby Town's first team in the past.
