Luton Town have parted company with manager Graeme Jones after just under a year in charge at Kenilworth Road.

The former Everton, Wigan and West Brom assistant, 50, has had his contract terminated "by mutual agreement".

The Hatters said the decision is in "order to reduce its cost base".

Luton won successive promotions from League Two to reach the second tier, but were 23rd in the Championship and six points from safety when the season was halted because of coronavirus.

They will revert in the interim to having chief recruitment officer Mick Harford in charge.

Following previous boss Nathan Jones' move to Stoke in January 2019, Harford was in charge for the rest of the League One season, until Graeme Jones took control on 7 May.

Harford will now act as "a relationship manager on football matters" between the Hatters' board, staff and the playing squad.
