MK Dons have signed attacking midfielder Dan Crowley, who joins the club from their fellow League 2 outfit Notts County.

The 27-year-old moves for an undisclosed fee and has signed a contract of undisclosed length at Stadium MK. He becomes the Dons’ second signing of the January transfer window, after the capture of Jay Williams from Crawley announced last week.

The signing is a familiar face for Dons’ fans, with Crowley having scored one and set up another when Notts County played MK Dons on Boxing Day.

Crowley had joined Notts County from Morecambe in 2023, making 69 appearances for the Magpies. So far this season, he had scored 4 goals and taken an assist for seven more strikes.

Before joining Morecambe, Crowley had spent time in the Aston Villa and Arsenal academies before having spells with Dutch side Willem II, Birmingham City, Cheltenham and a second spell with Willem II, along with loan spells at Barnsley, Oxford, Go Ahead Eagles, SC Cambuur and Hull City.

Crowley told the official MK Dons website of his delight to make the move. He said, “Speaking with the Chairman and the Gaffer, it was something I didn’t want to miss out on, it’s an exciting project and I really believe in what we’re trying to do here. I think we can get to the top, and I’m just really grateful!”

MK Dons’ Head Coach Scott Lindsey said he felt Crowley would be a high quality addition to his squad.

He said, “Dan’s quality at this level is very clear. He’s a wonderful footballer with a great work ethic and fantastic ability on the ball. For us, it’ll be about integrating him into the environment as quickly as possible to get the best out of him. I’m excited to see him link up with the other players and show what he can do.”
