The 2015–16 season was John Still's third start to a season as manager of Luton Town, having been appointed in February 2013.[2] Still was sacked in December 2015 with Luton 17th in League Two after four straight defeats.[3] He was replaced by Nathan Jones,[4] who had been first-team coach at Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion.[4] Luton finished in 11th-place in the 2015–16 League Two table.[5]

At the end of the 2015–16 season, Luton released Jake Howells, Alex Lawless, Paul Benson, Isaac Galliford, Scott Griffiths, Ryan Hall, Mark Onyemah, Luke Trotman and Curtley Williams.[6] Matt Robinson was initially placed on the transfer list,[6] along with Mark O’Brien and Magnus Okuonghae,[6] before he was released one year early from his contract along with Elliot Justham one week later.[7] Zane Banton and Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu were offered new contracts and Craig King had a one year option on his contract taken up.[6] Paddy McCourt was later released one year early from his contract by mutual consent.[8] Luton have made three summer signings, including Alan Sheehan from Bradford City, who spent the latter half of the previous season on loan with the club,[9] Johnny Mullins and Danny Hylton who both signed from Oxford United.[10][11]
