He spent nearly eight years in north London, making a couple of senior appearances, before heading north of the border last January in search of regular game time.

Macey impressed during 18 months at Hibs. Last season he kept nine clean sheets and conceded just 32 goals in 27 Scottish Premiership matches.

The 27-year-old also helped Hibs reach the Scottish League Cup final, where they were beaten by Celtic.

He now returns to Luton, who recently enjoyed an unlikely promotion push under Nathan Jones.

Luton lost goalkeeper James Shea to a serious knee injury in April.
