Harlow-born winger who penned an 18-month contract with the Hatters in January 2011 after hitting 10 goals for Cambridge United.

Capable of playing on either wing or behind the front two, Willmott came through the ranks at the Abbey Stadium and wowed the home faithful with his pace, dribbling, close control and eye for goal.

His performances for the U's' youth team saw him break into the senior squad, making his debut as a 17-year-old in September 2007.

After signing his first professional contract two months later, the midfielder was mainly used as an impact substitute during 2007/08 but continued to impress: eight goals in his first season as a pro followed in 2008/09 while his level of performance and his assist tally soared last season as the U's finished in mid-table.

But the youngster's talents during this campaign have really come to fore. Weighing in with 10 goals and eight assists from just 29 starts for Martin Ling's side, Willmott's turn of foot and delivery from set-pieces has also become a highly sought-after commodity.
