MK Dons sign Hepburn-Murphy from Crawley

Rushian Hepburn-Murphy made 17 appearances for Aston Villa at the start of his career

MK Dons have signed Crawley Town forward Rushian Hepburn-Murphy for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old, who began his career at Aston Villa, scored 11 goals in 46 games for Crawley last season, including four in their last three.

He left Villa for Israeli side Pafos in 2020 and spent two years there before joining Swindon Town and then Crawley last summer.

"Rushian is a player I have watched over many seasons, and I like the qualities he can add to this team," said Dons boss Paul Warne.

"He's somebody who wants to kick on with his career, he will be an exciting addition for now and in the future."

The deal was completed before Tuesday's 19:00 BST deadline and he is the second player to move to Stadium: MK so far this summer following former Derby County winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.

"For me, this club should never be in League Two - who wouldn't want to play here and get back up the leagues as quick as possible," Hepburn-Murphy said.

His contract details have not been disclosed.
