Gilbey thanks Dons fans after 'three really enjoyable years'

Charlton midfielder Alex Gilbey admitted it was with a 'heavy heart' that he left MK Dons after three seasons.

The 25-year-old had a medical with the Addicks this time last week but the deal was put on hold due to the Londoners' ownership battles.

However, the deal was finally able to go through on Thursday night.

Tweeting after the move, Gilbey wrote: "IT comes with a heavy heart but I have chosen to leave Milton Keynes Dons

"I've had three really enjoyable years at Stadium MK, we had our ups and downs but we came through the other side stronger and I've reated memories that I'll cherish forever.

"I've formed so many close relationships and made lifelong friend and I'll always be forever thankful to MK Dons for them.

"To the Dons fans, thank you for supporting me through thick and thin - you'll never understand what your support means to me. It was an honour to represent you and I hope to see you again one day soon."
