Steven Caulker begins training with Luton Town

Luton Town boss Nathan Jones has confirmed that Steven Caulker has started training with the League Two side.

Last month, Caulker was released by Queens Park Rangers with the 26-year-old not featuring in Ian Holloway's plans at Loftus Road.

West Ham United were allegedly contemplating whether to hand a trial period to the former England international, but the player has now linked up with the Hatters.

Jones has not suggested that Caulker could land a deal at Kenilworth Road, but the manager has said that the former Cardiff City man has been given a 'platform' to try to get himself fit.

Caulker has only played below the second tier of English football for one season, which came during a loan spell with Yeovil Town during the 2009-10 campaign.
