Portsmouth complete signing of MK Dons midfielder Carl Baker

Portsmouth complete the signing of midfielder Carl Baker, 33, on a two-year deal after his contract expired at MK Dons.

Portsmouth have signed former MK Dons midfielder Carl Baker on a two-year deal after his contract expired at the Stadium MK.

The 33-year-old joins defender Matt Clarke and midfielder Danny Rose as new additions to Pompey manager Paul Cook's squad for next season.

Following his move, Baker told the official Portsmouth website: "I very nearly signed for Pompey two years ago. It's lovely to finally arrive on the south coast.

"Since then I've kept a close eye on their results and another big factor in me coming here is that Paul Cook was my boss at Southport, where I started out.

"I already know lads like Gary Roberts, Michael Doyle and Adam Barton and although I may have dropped down the league, after speaking to the manager I am in no doubt that Pompey are going places."

Baker, formerly of Coventry City, moved to MK Dons in 2014, where he scored 15 goals in his 72 appearances and helped them win promotion to the Championship in the 2014-15 season.
