Experience Could Prove Key
Currently, 14th in the League One table, the arrival of Surman’s experience could prove vital within the MK Dons ranks as they look to progress up the table.
Even past his prime at 34, Surman will offer manager Russell Martin that crucial insight on the pitch; insight that will do his side the world of good in the most competitive of divisions.
Surman ‘Delighted’ With Move
Speaking to the MK Dons Twitter, Surman expressed his delight at the completion of the move, saying: “I’m delighted to be here and I’m grateful for the opportunity. It’s a brand of football that is all I’ve known for the past six years that I’ve been at Bournemouth – it’s something that suits my game.
“I’m hoping I can come in and add something to that. I’m a player that wants to get on the ball and keep it moving, and I look to impose my technical ability on every match I play. By the looks of it, I’ve come to the right place to do that.
“I’m looking forward to getting into training and having my first session. I’m looking forward to the game on Saturday. It was a massive result for us at Sunderland on the weekend and hopefully, we can follow that up this weekend.”
Manager Russel Martin was also pleased with the arrival, saying: “He was captain of a Premier League team last season. He’s going to add a huge amount on and off the pitch, we’ve talked about the importance of having experience and people who have been there, done it, and suit our style – he’s exactly that.”
