MK Dons Defender Linked - Ipswich Town News

Town are one of a number of clubs reported to be interested in MK Dons right-back Danny Woodards. The 27-year-old is out of contract having rejected a new deal at stadium:mk with the Blues, Bristol City, Doncaster Rovers and Sheffield United all believed to be monitoring his situation.

Woodards, 5ft 9in tall, started his career with Chelsea, moving on to Exeter in 2005 without having made a senior appearance at Stamford Bridge, having also been on trial at Wycombe Wanderers.

After a year and a half with the Grecians, the Londoner joined Crewe Alexandra for a fee of £30,000.

Having allowed his contract at Gresty Road to run down, Woodards joined the MK Dons in the summer of 2009 on a free transfer and since then has made 72 starts and seven sub appearances, scoring one goal.

An England C team player during his time with Exeter in the Blue Square Bet Premier, Woodards has also operated at centre-half, right midfield and central midfield in addition to his preferred right-back role.
