Luton striker Nordas agrees Netherlands loan move

Luton Town striker Lasse Nordas has joined SC Heerenveen on loan for the rest of the season.

The 23-year-old Norwegian signed for The Hatters from Tromso a year ago and scored four goals in 27 appearances - with three of them coming in the EFL Trophy.

He will now have the chance to try his luck in the Dutch Eredivisie, with Heerenveen currently ninth ahead of the resumption of matches next weekend after the winter break.

"He's strong both on the ground and in the air, a true team player, and has a good sense of positioning in the penalty area. We're pleased to add an attacking boost to the squad with him," said Heerenveen technical manager Johan Hansma.

Meanwhile, forward Taylan Harris has returned to Luton following a loan spell at Tranmere Rovers.

The 20-year-old made 19 appearances for the League Two club, scoring his only goal in a 4-0 win over Shrewsbury Town in August.

He joined The Hatters from Reading in the 2024 January transfer window but has yet to play a first-team game at Kenilworth Road.
