MK Dons have signed experienced former Southampton and Bournemouth midfielder Andrew Surman on a short-term contract.

The 34-year-old joins on a free transfer after being released by the Cherries this summer.

South Africa-born Surman, who has also played for Wolves and Norwich City, has made 453 career appearances.

"I'm a player that wants to get on the ball and keep it moving, and I look to impose my technical ability," Surman told the MK Dons website.

"By the looks of it, I've come to the right place to do that."
