“I’m pretty sure if I said the wrong things then he wouldn’t have been interested so once I said what I wanted to achieve and then what he did, it was a match. “The club fitted me, you could go to a bigger club which people might say is better than Luton but for me it is a crucial time for me in my career, so I needed to pick my decision based on nothing but football, that is where Luton appealed to me the most. I just think it wasn’t so much about what he was saying, it was about what I wanted as well. “When I did meet Nathan (Jones, Luton boss), it was always there and we used to phone each other as well after. “My whole mindset was to start fresh and then I went through the process to see who was interested at the time.
“They said they wanted to offer me a new contract but I just said ‘no’ to that and turned it down, I didn’t even know what it was. “At first my options were open,” Burke said about the end contract with City, who had the option of an extra year, adding: “I made the decision to myself straight away that I wasn’t going to stay at Hull City. Having joined Hull from West Ham United, where he came through the ranks, relegation to the third tier last year was not in his plans, but after bouncing back to the Championship at the first time of asking he felt the time was right for a change. The 24-year-old centre half became the Hatters’ second signing of the summer when he left the League One champions to join on a free. Reece Burke did not contemplate a new deal offered to him by the Hull City as he’d already already made his mind up to leave and that, though Luton wasn’t his only option, he picked Town to progress his career all the way to the Premier League.
