It's Kenilworth Rd For Kioso As Luton Move For Full-Back

The 20-year-old full-back has completed a switch to Kenilworth Road after an undisclosed fee.

Hartlepool were keen to keep the player after a great season but the manager feels the sky is the limit for Kioso after securing an EFL switch.

“We didn’t want to lose Peter by any stretch of the imagination because he’s been great,” Challinor told the club’s official website.

“There has been lots of interest and speculation around him but the club wanted to keep him and had entered in to discussions with his agent and Peter himself.

“However, he wanted to see what was out there for him and then you have a decision to make when an offer comes in for a player who has three or four months left on his contract.

“The decision for us is dependent on lots of different factors – if we had been sat at the top of the table I expect we would have waited and if you lose him for nothing then you lose him for nothing.

“We’ve reluctantly accepted the bid and for him to get a move to a Championship club is a massive opportunity for him – and one that he thoroughly deserves.

“Hopefully he can kick-on and show he can hold his own at that level.”
