Another former Luton Town player has joined Hereford United.
Richard Jackson, a full back, was a free agent and therefore only needed to be registered by Graham Turner. The BBC is reporting that he has signed a one year deal.
He might be included in tomorrow's squad to play Swindon.
Jackson is 28 and started his career at Scarborough before moving to Derby County.
He joined Derby County in March 1999. His first game for Derby came in a 0-0 draw against Newcastle United in May 2000, which was shortly followed by an appearance in a 4-0 defeat to Chelsea. He made three appearances in the 2000-01 season followed by seven appearances in the 2001-02 season, at the end of which Derby were relegated to the Championship. He broke into the first team on a regular basis in the 2002-03 season, during which he made 21 appearances, and was offered a new contract at the end of the season. He consolidated his place in the first team in the 2003-04 season, making 37 appearances, and signing a new two-year contract in May 2004.
He made 20 appearances in the 2004-05 season until he suffered a groin injury in a game against Leeds United in January 2005, which ruled him out of first-team action until May as Derby reached the end of season play-off games. Jackson made 27 appearances in the 2005-06 season, which was interrupted by another groin injury that saw him ruled out of first-team action for all of September and October 2005 and a hamstring injury that ruled him out for several weeks in the spring of 2006.
By this time, Jackson was the longest serving player at Derby and, in January 2006, signed a contract keeping him at the club until the summer of 2008. However, he made only seven further appearances for Derby in the 2006-07 season and in August 2007, he moved to Luton Town signing a two-year contract in August 2007. His contract was terminated by mutual consent on August 21st 2008.
