Luton Town manager Jack Wilshere and midfielder Kasey Palmer have received nominations for the Sky Bet League One Manager and Player of the Month awards for their performances in April 2026. The Luton Town Football Club duo are up for the honours following a strong end to the campaign, with the winners set to be announced on Friday, 8 May 2026.

The nominations follow an impressive run for the team throughout April, where the club went unbeaten across six matches. During this period, the squad secured five wins and one draw, accumulating 16 points and topping the league’s form table. This performance saw them edge out champions Lincoln City based on goal difference.

Kasey Palmer, who is on loan from Hull City, was recognised for a standout month in which he scored five goals in his five league starts. His contribution also included a significant assist for teammate Shayden Morris during an away game against Mansfield.

Despite this late-season surge, which included winning the Vertu Trophy at Wembley, the club finished seventh in League One. They ultimately missed out on a spot in the play-offs by a single point. These nominations mark a notable conclusion to a season that saw significant changes, including the appointment of Jack Wilshere as manager on 13 October 2025.
