AFC Wimbledon have completed the permanent signing of John-Joe O’Toole after his release by Mansfield Town. 

O’Toole, 35, made fourteen appearances for Johnnie Jackson’s side last season as the Dons fell just short of reaching the League Two play-offs. 

“I’m delighted to sign for a club that’s going in the right direction,” O’Toole said on Wimbledon’s website. “I’m pleased to be a part of it. I’m looking forward to getting a full season under my belt – we’ll be giving it everything we have to get promoted.”

Jackson added: “John-Joe was outstanding when he joined us at the back end of last season. He’s versatile, can play in defence, can play in midfield and has a wealth of experience.

“His professionalism and the way he trains every day is something our young lads can learn a lot from and he will have a big role to play both on and off the pitch.”

Head of football operations Craig Cope added: “We are delighted to welcome John-Joe back to Wimbledon. He has been a key part of the team since his arrival and we are pleased that is going to continue into the new season.”

The Dons completed the signing of 26-year-old Solihull Moors midfielder Callum Maycock on Monday.
