AFC Wimbledon secure loan signing of Chelsea's Billy Hughes

 

AFC WIMBLEDON SIGN CHELSEA DEFENDER HUGHES ON TEMPORARY DEAL

AFC Wimbledon have added to their squad once again, confirming their 10th signing of the summer transfer window as they continue to strengthen for the challenges ahead in League One.

The 20-year-old, who joins with a determination to make an immediate impact, expressed his excitement after putting pen to paper.

“I’m absolutely delighted to get this deal over the line,” he said in his first interview with the club. “Now it’s about working hard, settling in quickly, and helping the team push forward as we progress through the season.”

Wimbledon’s busy summer recruitment drive reflects their ambition to build depth and competition across the squad. The club has made a solid start to the campaign, picking up nine points from their opening five fixtures, giving them early momentum in the race for promotion.

Next up for the Dons is a challenging trip to Bradford City on Saturday, where the new signing could be in contention to feature and begin his journey in front of the travelling supporters.
