Marvelous Nakamba is relishing the intensity of the Championship as he looks to help Luton reach the play-offs for a second successive season.
The 29-year-old made his first start for the Hatters in their 1-1 draw at Coventry, having arrived on loan from Aston Villa on transfer deadline day.
Zimbabwe international Nakamba had a knee injury last season and had not played for Villa this term.
"Life happens and now is the time to get back [into it]," he said.
"The injury came up after I had been player of the month. I am really grateful to Luton for giving me the chance.
