Just ahead of the 17.00 deadline for loan signings 26 year-old Jabo Ibehre, who can play either on the right wing or in the centre, will be with the club until the end of the year.
Starting out with Leyton Orient when present assistant boss Paul Brush was working at the East End club, he went on to play for Walsall.
Ibehre made his mark in front of the Franchise last term, scoring the Saddlers winner at stadium:mk which robbed the Dons of automatic promotion from League One.
Well, he deserves plaudits for that!
Jabo has made only nine appearances for MK Dons this season, scoring just once, as new manager Paul Ince rings the changes from previous boss Roberto Di Matteo, who joined West Brom in the summer.
He was an unused sub for the Franchise in the 2-1 victory over them last Friday, maybe Brushy popped over and had a word.
The news that Francis Laurent's will be out for up to 10 days with his hamstring injury certainly would have concentrated Tilly on chasing a player that offers the variety Ibehere will bring to the squad.
