Luton Town midfielder Liam Walsh has apologised to supporters following two red cards already this season.

Following his 14 December dismissal against Blackburn, he will continue serving a four-match suspension throughout the festive and New Year period and has been fined by the club.

“As a football fan myself I understand how much I’ve let you down and I own up to that, there is no excuse. I have made not one but two mistakes now that I know myself are not good enough and not up to the standards expected as a professional,” he told the club website.

“I’ve had a week or so to think how I can make it up to the fans of this great football club, because Luton Town is a club I want to be at and succeed at. I will be working hard now to stay as fit as possible so I am ready to come back to the pitch to help the boys, and also showcase to you fans how much you mean to me.

“I know a lot of people won’t take my apology well and rightly so, but I look forward to playing in front of you Hatters again, backing up my words and helping this club go on to success.”

Luton go into the festive period 15th in the Championship following their dramatic come-from-behind win over Derby County last Friday.
