Portsmouth sign Brown on loan from Luton

Portsmouth have signed forward Jacob Brown on a loan deal from Luton Town until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old started his career at Barnsley and stayed at the club until 2020 when he completed a permanent move to Stoke City, before joining Luton Town in the summer of 2023.

Brown has played 60 times for the Hatters and scored seven goals, but this campaign has struggled for minutes, making nine appearances in all competitions.

Blues boss John Mousinho said:, external "Jacob is a player who has bags of Championship experience and was appearing in the Premier League a little over 18 months ago.

"It's probably been a difficult first half of the season for him at Luton, but he's coming here looking to get back on track.

"We feel that he bolsters us in any one of those positions across the front line, so it's a signing that we're really excited about."

Brown joins Millenic Alli who also arrived on loan to Portsmouth from the Hatters last month.
