Dons duo earn new deals

Ibehre: Striker has signed new two-year deal with MK Dons

MK Dons duo Jabo Ibehre and Tom Flanagan have signed new contracts with the League One outfit.

Striker Ibehre has put pen to paper on a two-year contract at stadium:mk, while central defender Flanagan has been handed a one-year deal with the option of an additional 12 months.

Former Leyton Orient and Walsall forward Ibehre made 48 appearances last season as Karl Robinson's men reached the play-off semi-finals.

Talented teenager Flanagan spent the second half of the campaign on loan with Kettering in the Blue Square Premier, but is regarded as one for the future and is tipped to push for more first-team action this term.

Something special

Robinson told the club's official website: "A lot of clubs were interested in his services but Jabo can see we are building something special at MK Dons and he wants to be part of that.

"Tom is a talented defender with an appetite for playing football in the right way. He is young and ambitious, and I'm thrilled to have him in my team next year."

Ibehre added: "Every year you want to get better and I thought last season was better than my first and I want this season to be even better, hopefully it will be the year that we go up as well."

And Flanagan stated: "I worked hard last season and I'm chuffed to bits with the new deal. This is a desirable club with a great stadium and I'm really happy to be part of it."
