MK Dons have signed Derby County centre-back Curtis Nelson for an undisclosed fee.

The 32-year-old played under Dons boss Paul Warne at Pride Park, and was part of the squad that won promotion from League One in 2024.

He joined the Rams in the summer of the previous year and has made 83 appearances, scoring four goals, the most recent against Birmingham City on Boxing Day.

Nelson is the third signing of the current transfer window by MK Dons, following midfielders Ben Wiles and Jay Matete.

Warne says Nelson, whose contact length at MK Dons has not been disclosed, "brings a lot of quality" to the League Two side.

"As a coach, you want leaders in your team, particularly if you're going to be successful," Warne told the club website., external

MK Dons are fifth in League Two and away to Accrington Stanley on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
