Newly promoted Stevenage have made their first signings of the summer after agreeing terms with midfielders Nick Freeman and Alex MacDonald.

Freeman, 27, will join his hometown club after seven seasons and 178 appearances with Wycombe Wanderers.

MacDonald, 33, played 55 games for Gillingham in 2022-23, scoring twice, and had been offered a new deal by the League Two club.

He previously played under boss Steve Evans for the Gills and Mansfield.

The length of the pair's contracts with Stevenage have not been revealed.

Freeman helped Wycombe win the League One play-off final in 2020, when they beat Oxford United at Wembley.

"This is my local club, so it's an exciting time for me," he said, external of his move to the Lamex Stadium.

MacDonald began his career at Burnley and his former clubs also include Burton Albion and Oxford.

Stevenage will play in League One next season for the first time in a decade after finishing this season in second place in the table, clinching one of the three automatic promotion spots.
