CALLUM LEAVES DONS AGAIN...

- By Charlie Peat

CALLUM Kennedy insists now is the right time to end his AFC Wimbledon career following three separate spells at the club.

The 28-year-old defender helped the club earn promotion to League One in 2016 before playing last season with Leyton Orient.

But now Kennedy, who originally signed in 2013, is leaving Kingsmeado­w after his contract expired.

He said: “I don’t think I will be coming back for a fourth or fifth time! It seems an appropriat­e time to move on with the club being safe in League One. Hopefully, the club can go on to do better things.

“It’s disappoint­ing to be leaving because I love the club but, at the same time, it’s all good.

“I had a chat with the manager (Neal Ardley) and I’m looking forward to moving on now and finding another club. It has been a rollercoas­ter for me but a very positive experience.”

Kennedy is among nine players released by the Dons, including captain Barry Fuller, 33.
