The 25-year-old defender spent two-and-a-half years at Stadium MK and was a key part of the Dons side that secured promotion from League Two in 2018\/19.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The defender has been handed the number six short, which was vacated earlier in the week when <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/05\/barnsley-sign-forest-green-rovers-defender-liam-kitching\/\" target=\"_self\">Liam Kitching left to join Championship side Barnsley.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What Was Said<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking to the clubs&#8217; official website, Cargill said: &#8220;I&#8217;m really pleased to get the deal done, it&#8217;s come around so quickly. It&#8217;s a nice coincidence that I played my first senior game here so it&#8217;s nice to come back.<\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I spoke to a lot of people who all speak highly of the manager and his style of football. We played out from the back at MK so it&#8217;s something that I&#8217;m used to and I&#8217;m comfortable on the ball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It&#8217;s good to have a free week and a free weekend so I can get settled in with the lads before the first game. That should really benefit me and I can&#8217;t wait to get started.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Head Coach Mark Cooper added: &#8220;We&#8217;re delighted to get Baily across the line so quickly. He was our number one target to replace Liam Kitching and he&#8217;s going to be a great player for us. He&#8217;s a talented footballer with a great left foot who can defend well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He&#8217;ll slot into our defence well, and he already knows Jordan Moore-Taylor, Chris Stokes and Scott Wagstaff, which will only improve the great bond we have in the squad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Cargill Career Before Forest Green Switch<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cargill began his career at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/bournemouth\/\" target=\"_self\">AFC Bournemouth<\/a>. It was during a loan spell at AFC Totton that the defender made his senior debut in an FA Trophy match against Forest Green.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He spent time on loan at Coventry City, Fleetwood Town, Gillingham and Partick Thistle before joining the Dons in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The defender scored once during his time at MK from 68 appearances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Main Photo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a id=\"Pkrt4RdERWVeVeDZZQlRYA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1285173873\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Pkrt4RdERWVeVeDZZQlRYA',sig:'SOB0OMgMJ1OkXtAAGFZwTBofuxIAoL-DomloYMzB5Gk=',w:'594px',h:'419px',items:'1285173873',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>League Two side Forest Green Rovers have completed the signing of Baily Cargill, who joins from League One outfit\u00a0MK Dons.
