Luton striker returns to Kenilworth Road after Hatters end Ravens loan spell early
Luton have recalled forward Aribim Pepple from his loan spell at Vanarama National League side Bromley.
The 21-year-old had moved to Hayes Lane at the start of the campaign, but although he netted a brace in the London Senior Cup victory over Redbridge, he only made six league appearances for Andy Woodman’s side, three from the start, with his last outing coming back on October 3, playing an hour in the 2-0 defeat at Chesterfield.
A statement on the official Ravens Twitter page said: “Bromley Football Club can confirm that Aribim Pepple has been recalled by parent club Luton Town. We thank Bim for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future.”
Pepple, who was born in Kettering, moved to Kenilworth Road last term from Cavalry FC where he had become the first player to score in five consecutive Canadian Super League matches. The former Canada U17 international is yet to make a senior appearance for the Hatters since arriving in Bedfordshire, spending last term on loan with League Two Grimsby Town where he played 15 times, although failed to find the net for the Mariners.
Hatters trio Joe Taylor, Elliot Thorpe and Aribim Pepple have returned to the club after loan spells away from Kenilworth Road.
Taylor was in prolific form for Colchester United in League Two. The striker, who scored from the spot in the play-off final in May, hit 12 goals in 27 appearances for the Essex club.
A back injury sadly meant midfielder Thorpe was restricted to just two appearances with League One Shrewsbury Town, while forward Pepple appeared six times for Bromley in the National League.
Meanwhile, there has been movement involving three of the Town’s development squad players.
Tobias Braney’s loan at Bishop’s Stortford has ended and the striker has now joined Hayes & Yeading United until the end of the season.
His teammate Tyrelle Newton also returns to Kenilworth Road following his spell at Hemel Hempstead in National League South.
Finally, young centre-half Ben Tompkins has extended his loan at National League South Braintree Town until the end of the season.
The Hatters wishes to thank all the clubs involved for the support they have given each player during their time on loan.
