Milton Keynes Dons have made their seventh summer signing by bringing in Crawley Town midfielder Liam Kelly for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old former Reading, Bath City, Feyenoord, Oxford United and Rochdale player moves on after just one season at Crawley, in which he helped them win promotion back to League One.

"I had an unbelievable season," he said. "Not just me personally but as a team to get promotion. Hopefully, I can use that experience.

"This has been in the works for a while. When I first heard about it, I've been excited to try and get it done.

"The project that's building is clear to see from the outside even when playing against MK Dons last season."

Kelly follows boss Mike Wiliamson's signings of defenders Luke Offord from Crewe, Laurence Maguire from Chesterfield and Sam Sherring from Northampton Town, and fellow midfielders Connor Lemonheigh-Evans from Stockport County and Tommy Leigh and Joe Pritchard from Accrington Stanley.
