Sinclair signed a permanent Salisbury deal in 2008

Salisbury City midfielder Rob Sinclair is looking forward to facing Luton Town, the club he grew up playing for.

The 20-year-old spent a decade in the Hatters' youth ranks before being released without making the first team.

The two sides meet at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium on Saturday in the Blue Square Premier.

"To play them will be brilliant - they'll bring many fans. You get a bigger buzz when you play against your former club," he told BBC Wiltshire.

"I started off at eight in the centre of excellence and worked my way up through the ranks. They were the best team around where I'm from to play for.

"It's always your dream to get in the first team but it didn't work out so I came to Salisbury where it has."

they are a non-league club at the moment and they have to earn the respect to get out of the non-league Rob Sinclair

Sinclair first joined the Whites on loan in 2008 before making the move permanent.

At Luton he was coached by the now Hatters manager Mick Harford and is well aware just how big a club they are in the Blue Square Premier.

"Things weren't run properly with the finances and it catches up with you in the end.

"Now they'll rebuild and hopefully for them they'll start to move on again but they are a non-league club at the moment and they have to earn the respect to get out of the non-league."
