Former Manchester United winger Luke Chadwick has joined Milton Keynes Dons in a permanent deal. The 28-year-old was released by Norwich City boss Glenn Roeder, and has been quickly snapped-up by the MK franchise club. Chadwick made 39 senior appearances for United.
Chadwick was highly-rated as he came through United's youth system - but never established himself due to David Beckham and Ryan Giggs' stronghold on the right and left flank positions.
He remained with the club until 2004 - spending an impressive loan spell at Royal Antwerp, plus temporary stints at Reading and Burnley.
Chadwick eventually joined West Ham United on a free transfer - but has struggled to settle at any of the handful of clubs he has represented. A series of troublesome injuries have played their part in blighting the player's career.
Having spent a short loan spell with Milton Keynes, he ended a disappointing spell at Norwich by making the move permanent soon after the transfer window opened.
Good luck at MK.
