Adebayo Akinfenwa has rejected a new deal at Gillingham to sign for AFC Wimbleon.

The 32-year-old turned down a new contract offer at Priestfield last month, with the Dons fending off competition from a string of other clubs for his signature.

Boss Neal Ardley said: “I tried very hard last season to get Adebayo in and I’m very pleased that I’ve finally got my man.

"He is a striker who gets his fair share of goals, which the statistics prove, but what the statistics don’t show is how many goals he plays a part in.

"If you put someone alongside him with the finishing prowess of Matt Tubbs then it is clear what we’ve been trying to do here. I am over the moon with it."

Akinfenwa scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for the League One Gills last season.
