Dons deal for Bowditch

MK Dons striker Dean Bowditch has committed himself to the club for the next two years.

The 28-year-old, who scored seven goals in 40 appearances as the Dons won promotion to the Championship last season, will now stay at stadium:mk until the end of the 2016/17 campaign. Bowditch is thrilled with the prospect of helping the Dons establish themselves as a second-tier club. "I'm absolutely over the moon," he told MK Dons Player. "As soon as the club said they wanted to offer me a contract, I was really pleased. "It was a bit of an up and down season for me but I thought I finished well and the chance to play in the Championship is very exciting. "I scored some goals and set some up towards the end - I felt like I was getting back to where I was when I first came. If I can continue that then it will only help the team and that's my main aim. "As a team, we finished brilliantly and hopefully we take that momentum into next season, which I can't wait for." Bowditch becomes the fifth player to pen a new deal this summer, following in the footsteps of Carl Baker, Lee Hodson, Tom Flanagan and Dean Lewington.
