On 22 January 2013, Luts signed a two-year contract with Allsvenskan club IFK Norrköping.[3] On 4 April 2013, his missed penalty in the shoout-out against Djurgårdens IF saw IFK Norrköping eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2012–13 Svenska Cupen. Luts made his debut in the Allsvenskan on 8 April 2013, in a 2–1 home victory over Gefle IF.[4] He made 13 league appearances in the 2013 season.
