Luton Town are on course for a mid-table finish, which is a fantastic achievement given they narrowly avoided relegation last term.

Bringing Nathan Jones back to the club may have been somewhat controversial at the time but it has now proven a masterstroke and the Welshman will be looking to build on the progress made this season in the upcoming transfer window.

Finances might be tight but you'd imagine the Hatters will still be looking to get a few deals done and the figures at Kenilworth Road will know that to continue their upward progression, money will need to be spent.

They've made some fantastic signings in the past, including bringing in some outstanding foreign imports, and they're our focus today.

We've scoured the club's long history to outline the best non-English players that featured for the club as we ranked the top 10 best ever foreign Luton Town imports - do you agree with our choices?

Jean-Louis Valois' time with Luton may have been brief but, my god, it was memorable.

The French winger only spent one season at Kenilworth Road but he was an entertainer and a player capable of truly magical moments.

Valois produced surely the most impressive Luton debut ever as he helped his side beat Torquay United 5-1 and scored a brilliant long-range strike that left fans wondering how they'd managed to sign him.

A fallout with Joe Kinnear saw him leave the club after just one season in 2002 but he'll forever have a place in the hearts of many Hatters supporters.

The Yugoslavian international etched his name into Luton history with his late winner against Manchester City at Maine Road in 1983 – the goal that kept the club in the First Division on the last day of that season.

Known as Raddy to Hatters fans, Radomir Antic joined from Real Zaragoza in 1980 to join David Pleat's side.

He proved a fantastic acquisition and made more than 100 appearances for the club, in what was the final stop in his playing career.

Antic hung up his boots at the age of 36 after the 1983/84 campaign and went into management.

The only current Luton Town player on this list, given how important James Collins has been to the Hatters' rise in recent years it was impossible not to include him.

The Republic of Ireland international joined from Crawley Town in 2017 and has fired Luton up the divisions.

Collins has notched up 176 appearances for the club since, bagging 70 goals and adding 20 assists.

Every time Luton have stepped up a level into a new division, the 30-year-old has risen to the challenge – not least last term when his 14 goals were key to helping the Hatters secure their Championship status.

While Chris Coyne's own goal on debut made his start to life at Luton a world away from the dazzling one made by Jean-Louis Valois, the Australian defender certainly made up for it.

The towering centre-back joined in 2001 and helped the club secure promotion in his debut season, as well as playing a key part as they set a club record by winning 12 games in a row.

Coyne spent seven years with the Hatters in total, amassing more than 200 appearances while forming a brilliant partnership with Curtis Davies at the back and proving something of a nuisance in the opposition box as well.

From one centre-back to another, John Moore was a fantastic servant to the club in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Scottish defender was originally signed from Motherwell as a left-back but was moved into the centre of the defensive line to great success.

Moore made more than 300 appearances for Luton but his service to the club was not done there.

He would return as a manager and, in the 1986/87 campaign, would lead the Kenilworth Road outfit to 7th in the English top tier – their highest ever league finish.

Moore returned to Kenilworth Road for a third spell as a youth coach, staying as part of the staff until 2003.

One of the stars of Luton's 1959 FA Cup final run, Billy Bingham was brilliant during his two years at Kenilworth Road.

A mazy and skillful winger, Bingham joined from Sunderland for £8,000 in 1958 and proved money well spent.

He'd go on to score 36 goals and make more than 100 appearances for the club, including playing every game in their run to the 1959 FA Cup final.

The Northern Irishman scored the winner in the semi-final against Norwich City to secure their place at Wembley but was unable to help them avoid defeat to Nottingham Forest in the final.

Andy Rennie sits second on Luton's list of top goalscorers, having scored some 163 goals during his eight years at the club.

The Scotsman actually joined the Hatters as a centre-back, signing from Kilwinning Rangers in 1926.

Rennie was moved into the forward line by the Luton boss at the time, John McCartney, and quickly showed his quality in front of goal.

The centre-forward even scored a remarkable 48 goals in 46 games in the 1927/28 campaign.

When he left the club in 1934 with 335 appearances to his name, he was Luthe Hatters' record goalscorer – though Gordon Turner would later overtake him.

Another of the stars of Luton's 1959 FA Cup run, George Cummins was a magnificent playmaker and, like a few other players on this list, capable of moments of magic.

The Irishman signed from Everton in 1953 and was a key man as the Hatters' were promoted to and then established themselves in the First Division in the late 1950s.

The inside forward scored 30 times in more than 200 appearances for Luton and was integral during their run to the 1959 FA Cup final.

Cummins' eight years at Kenilworth Road came to an end in 1961 when he left to join Cambridge City.

There can surely be no arguments about Steve Howard's place on this list, such were the quality of his performances in a Luton shirt.

He cost the Hatters just £50,000 when they signed him from Northampton Town in 2001, which would prove an absolute bargain.

The powerful Scottish forward's career was nearly ended by an incident following a missed penalty early on but luckily, he remained a Hatter and would go on to score more than 100 goals in five years with the club.

Howard came through non-league football and that was apparent in his physical and direct style of play, something that certainly made him popular among the Luton fanbase.

One half of what many will consider Luton's best-ever centre-back pairing, Mal Donaghy sits deservedly at the top of our list of the Hatters' greatest foreign imports.

The Belfast-born defender made 91 appearances for his country as well as tallying more than 400 for the Kenilworth Road outfit.

Donaghy joined from Larne in 1978 and was an integral figure in a decade that brought the club's greatest successes to date.

The centre-back helped them secure promotion to the top tier, finish seventh in the division in 1986/87, and then win the League Cup with a shock victory against Arsenal in the 1988 final.

Some player.
