Jack Wilshere is committed to Luton despite rival interest in the Hatters head coach.

Wilshere joined the League One side in October and has helped stabilise the club after back-to-back relegations, leading them to within a point of the play-offs following an end-of-season run of six wins in seven.

He also led the side to the EFL Trophy in his first season in charge.

It is understood Wilshere was approached by Leicester in recent weeks following the departure of Gary Rowett in the wake of the Foxes' demotion to League One.

But it is also understood Wilshere prefers to stay at Luton and continue the work he has started.

It is also believed that Wilshere did not want to take another job in League One.

Luton Town have named William Lancefield as their new head of recruitment.

He moves to the League One club after leaving a similar role with Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.

Lancefield has previously had roles in scouting and analysis with Southampton, Norwich City, Tottenham and Brighton.

"William's arrival is a significant coup for Luton Town," Hatters chief executive Gary Sweet told the club website., external

"We're looking forward to working with him and excited about the impact he can make as we evolve our recruitment structure and processes in preparation for the new season and beyond."

WIth Lancefield's arrival at Kenilworth Road, Luton have announced the departures of head of recruitment analysis Jay Socik and Alexander Wilkinson, who was a senior scout.

Luton finished seventh in League One this season and also won the EFL Trophy by beating Stockport County 3-1 at Wembley in April.

Luton Town boss Jack Wilshere said he will make a late decision on the fitness of top-scorer Jordan Clark before their make-or-break game at Bolton Wanderers.

The Hatters are seventh in the table, just one point behind Stevenage, and are looking to pip them for the final play-off spot.

Clark has not played since the 2-1 win over Northampton Town on 15 April, and Wilshere told BBC Three Counties Radio: "Jordan wants to play, of course, he does. He's another player who leads by example, coming up with big goals.

"We'll assess him, we'll weigh up the risk, because our plan is to try and win this game to give us the opportunity to play more games, and we definitely want him for them as well."

Wilshere is hoping on-loan midfielder Kasey Palmer will continue his hot run of form against Bolton, having scored four goals in the past three games.

"I love Kasey, and I think everyone loves Kasey. It's not just what he brings on the pitch, he brings so much off the pitch as well. He's really important to the environment here.

"He's a leader in my opinion - he's not the kind of leader like Kal [Naismith] who's going to use his voice to do that, he's the type of leader that comes up with big moments, that comes up with goals that are important, outstanding individual performances that lift the team."

Wilshere said part of his job when he arrived at Kenilworth Road was to connect the players with the fans again following two relegations.

"Confidence among the players was low, belief was low, it was like a vicious circle where if you didn't get the result the fans needed, we then needed them to try and bring us that confidence and belief," he said.

"Sometimes we got it wrong, and credit with the fans for sticking with us, but now that connection is there."
