Edwards hails Barkley impact on Luton

Luton Town head coach Rob Edwards hailed the impact that Ross Barkley made for his team.

The central midfielder played a critical role in the newly promoted club showing they could go toe to toe with the country's top club sides.

While Luton are almost certainly relegated, Edwards knows that Barkley helped them shine in their first and possibly only season in the Premier League.

On Barkley, Edwards said: He's a super talented player isn't he, he's shown that on a number of occasions this year. At this level, I'm not a good manager, we're not good coaches, if we don't have good players.

"I think the level of players that have come in, especially in the summer, really lifted the whole group and the improvement that I've then seen throughout our existing squad is incredible.

It's amazing how just one or two players, I know a good number came in, but one or two can really lift everybody and make a big difference and I think Ross is one of those."
