The 24-year-old former Rangers and Kilmarnock player will join the Dons on free transfer after rejecting a contract extension at the Spireites.

Having agreed terms on a one-year deal at stadium:mk, he'll join up with his new team mates for pre-season training at the beginning of next month.

Leven made 44 appearances and scored six goals for Chesterfield last season having signed from Killie the previous summer.

An energetic, ball-playing central midfielder, he has also been known to operate out wide or at full-back.

Leven came through the youth ranks at Ibrox and joined Kilmarnock in 2004 in search of first-team football. He made 75 appearances for the men from Rugby Park before breaking into English football three years later.

The Glasgow-native played twice against the Dons last season, and was pivotal in Chesterfield's 2-1 at stadiummk in November.

Meanwhile Dons defender Drissa Diallo has signed a new one-year deal at the club.

The 35-year-old former Guinea international played a key role last season and is looking to overcome a shoulder injury and regain his position in the mean Dons defence.
