AFC Wimbledon have completed the loan signing of Bournemouth striker Matt Tubbs.

The 29-year-old rejected the chance to rejoin Crawley Town to make the temporary switch to Kingsmeadow.

“If you look at Matt’s goals record, then he is as good as it gets at this level," boss Neal Ardley told Dons Player.

"He is a fantastic finisher and a real predator in the box. I mentioned when we signed Dannie Bulman that I had watched Crawley several times and Matt was a main reason for that.

"He reminds me of a young David Connolly, who I previously played with because he has that movement, very good finishing ability and technique.

“I’m chuffed because this is a signing I’ve worked on for two months. I’ve had to show a lot of patience and it’s been tough, but for a club like us this is a major signing.

"If he goes on to do as well as I hope then we are all going to be very excited."

Ardley wants to bring in two more new forwards this summer as he reshapes his squad for next season.
