Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwean international Marvelous Nakamba said his decision to return to Luton Town on a permanent deal was one of the \u201ceasiest decisions\u201d he has ever made.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old midfielder agreed to join Luton from Aston Villa on a full-time basis, signing a three-year contract last week.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the club\u2019s official website after heading back for pre-season training, Nakamba said:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so excited, I\u2019m delighted to be here, to be home.<\/p>\n

It was definitely one of the easiest decisions I\u2019ve ever made.<\/p>\n

I wanted to be back, especially after what we did as a team at Wembley after the final.<\/p>\n

I was saying to myself and praying to God to continue the journey with the team.<\/p>\n

I felt at home and I think my six months was lovely.<\/p>\n

When I came back to training, I felt like I was just coming back to continue.<\/p>\n

Nakamba initially joined Luton on loan during the 2022\/23 January transfer window.<\/p>\n

He made 20 appearances in total, scoring from the spot during the 6-5 shootout success over Coventry City.<\/p>\n

Nakamba made his debut for the Hatters as a second-half substitute in the 1-0 home victory over Stoke City back in February.<\/p>\n
