ALAN Bennett has agreed a new deal to keep him at AFC Wimbledon for another year.

The former Reading and Brentford defender made 18 appearances for the Dons after signing a short-term contract at the beginning of February following his release from Cheltenham Town.

Bennett helped steer Wimbledon to safety to guarantee League Two football at Kingsmeadow next season.

And boss Neal Ardley has wasted no time in securing the Irishman's future at the club.
