MK Dons have signed striker Callum Hendry from League Two rivals Salford City for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old leaves the Ammies less than three months after he signed a new one-year deal with the club.

He had moved to the Peninsula Stadium from Scottish side St Johnstone in the summer of 2022 and scored 23 goals in 79 appearances for Salford.

Hendry's move to MK Dons comes on the same day that highly-rated 20-year-old striker striker Max Dean left the club to join Belgian top-flight side Gent.

"Callum is a fantastic signing for us," MK Dons boss Mike Williamson told the club website., external

"He can be a real menace and sniff out goalscoring opportunities. I'm confident he'll suit us and I'm delighted to have him."
