MK Dons have signed “one of the most exciting young talents in the EFL” in Scott Twine, according to sporting director Liam Sweeting.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder will complete a move to Stadium MK on a long-term deal when his contract at Swindon expires at the end of the month.

Twine scored 14 goals and provided nine assists for the Robins and Newport where he spent a successful loan spell, last season.

Sweeting is delighted to get a deal over the line, and told the Dons’ website: “He is one of the most exciting young talents in the EFL and was our first-choice target in his position going into the summer.

“What’s even more exciting is that we were also his first-choice option – he completely buys into what we want to do here at MK Dons and he is eager to work and develop under our management team.”

Twine told iFollow MK Dons: “There were a few clubs interested but after I spoke to the gaffer (Russell Martin), he sold it to me. I wanted to come here and play football the way we do, and I want to bring lots of goals and assists.”
