MK Dons sign Exeter midfielder Carroll

Tom Carroll scored once in 42 league games for Exeter City last season

MK Dons have signed experienced midfielder Tom Carroll.

The 32-year-old spent last season in League One with Exeter City after a year out of the game but turned down the option of a new deal with the Grecians.

Carroll started his career with Tottenham and has also had spells with Swansea and Queens Park Rangers.

He is the League Two side's eighth signing this summer and they have not specified the length of contract he has signed.

“Tom was excellent for the club last season after joining us following a year out of football," Exeter boss Gary Caldwell told the club website.

“Last season, Tom spent lots of time away from his wife and two young children, and expressed a desire to move back closer to be with them, which is something that as a club we have to respect.”
