Many have tried to displace the ageing club captain, but every time Lewington has won his place and stayed in the team.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he has <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/07\/09\/dean-lewington-signs-new-one-year-contract-with-mk-dons\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">signed a new one-year deal<\/a>, at 36 and with the club trying to push up the League One table, this could be the year where Lewington takes more of a back seat. That&#8217;s not to say Harvie will push him out of the team immediately &#8211; the new signing will have to prove he can take the place &#8211; but Harvie is 14 years Lewington&#8217;s senior, so will certainly provide more energy down the left flank.<\/p>\n<p>The Dons&#8217; only other back-up in the position before this signing was teenager Matthew Sorinola. The 19-year-old is yet to break through into the team, but could now be given more of a chance in cup matches with the left-back area seemingly sorted.<\/p>\n<h3>Daniel Harvie Delighted to Join<\/h3>\n<p>Harvie, who started his career at Aberdeen and has appeared 22 times for the Scottish international youth teams, expressed his delight at joining the club.<\/p>\n<p>He told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mkdons.com\/news\/2020\/july\/dons-add-full-back-daniel-from-ayr\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">club website<\/a>: \u201cIt took a while to get done due to the circumstances but I\u2019m over the moon that it\u2019s gone through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard MK Dons were interested and I spoke to the gaffer, who sold it to me straight away.
