Karl Robinson pays tribute to departing Luke Chadwick

MK Dons manager Karl Robinson has hailed Luke Chadwick, who departed the club for Cambridge United earlier today.

The 33-year-old had spent six years with the Dons, but having ended the campaign on loan with his boyhood club Cambridge, he has now committed his future to the League Two side.

With the two teams due to play each other in a pre-season friendly later this summer, Robinson has urged supporters to give the former Manchester United winger a positive send-off.

"I'm happy that Luke's dream has come true by joining the club he's supported since he was a boy. I've had the utmost respect for Luke since the moment I met him and I didn't want to stand in his way," he told the club's official website.

"He is a unique character but also a talented footballer and I'm delighted to have had the opportunity of working with him. I want the MK Dons fans to never forget Luke because I, the staff and the players that have worked with him certainly won't. I hope he gets the send off he deserves when we play Cambridge in pre-season."

Chadwick has left the Buckinghamshire-based outfit as their second leading appearance maker of all time.
