FOLLOWING promotion MK Dons have let five of their first-team squad go and that number includes Drewe Broughton, who spent three months on loan at the Racecourse.

Gareth Edds, Matt Carbon, Sam Collins, Kieran Murphy and Drewe will not be offered extensions once their existing contracts expire on 30 June.

Chairman Pete Winkelman said: "I'd like to thank all of the players and, while Drewe had only been with us for a year, his efforts both on and off the pitch have contributed a great deal to what has been an historic season for the club."

Striker Broughton, 29, signed from Chester last summer and finished the season on loan at Wrexham.

Meanwhile, Paul Mitchell, who played for us on loan last season, is now back to fitness after over 15 months out injured, and will be hoping for a return to first team duty in time for the start of the new campaign.

In play-off action this afternoon, Jimmy McNulty and Peter Ward were celebrating Stockport County's 1-0 success over Wycombe Wanderers, which took them into the Play-Off final at Wembley on Bank Holiday Monday.

But there was no such happy ending for Neil Wainwright and Ryan Valentine, as Darlington lost out on penalties to Keith Hill's Rochdale at Spotland.

News of another ex-Red, as keeper Michael Ingham has joined York City in the BSP, so will be facing the Dragons at some stage next season.

The Northern Ireland international was on loan at KitKat Crescent from Sunderland some five years ago, but didn't have his contract extended by Hereford United following their recent promotion from League 2.
