Republic of Ireland star Chiedozie Ogbene will be a Premier League player from July 1 after securing a move away from Championship side Rotherham United.
The 26-year-old, who scored eight goals for the Millers in the league last season, joins recently promoted Luton Town in the English top flight.
We are delighted to confirm that terms have been agreed with @EdozieOgbene to join us from 1st July! ✍️

Welcome, Chio #COYH
Ogbene told Luton's club website: "I’m delighted to be here as a Premier League player, because of my journey and where I’ve been in the last five-and-a-half years, from Limerick FC and the League of Ireland to Luton Town FC in the Premier League. My former coach said it would be one in 200,000 – I guess I’m that one!
"My journey is special to me. I come from Rotherham United, who I spent four seasons with and where I achieved some great things with some great people. But to be considered to be a Luton Town player with an opportunity to feature in the Premier League was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.”
He added: "I’m just excited to be here. To feature in the Premier League is everyone’s dream and I’m really happy for the opportunity."
The electric attacker has scored four goals in 15 caps for the Boys in Green to date.
