Luton Town director Stephen Browne has admitted that the club were shocked to learn that veteran striker Paul Furlong had decided to join Southend United.
The 39-year-old was out of contract with the Hatters this summer and has opted for a new challenge at Roots Hall.
LTFC2020 director Browne told the Luton News: "The first we knew about it was the Southend website. As far as we were aware he was still a player contracted to Luton Town.
"We would have expected him to report back for pre-season training.
"We will hopefully be out of administration by the end of July and we would have had an opportunity to speak to him.
"He is what you would call a model pro, but we are a little bit frustrated that the rules haven't been followed."
