Adebayo Akinfenwa issues 'come and get me' plea to clubs after playoff heroics

Out-of-contract striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has told potential suitors to "hit me up on WhatsApp" after he helped AFC Wimbledon make history in Monday's playoff.

The 34-year-old netted from the penalty spot in the 99th minute to seal a 2-0 win over Plymouth Argyle at Wembley.

The result secured promotion to League One for AFC Wimbledon, who have never before reached the third tier in their 14-year history.

Akinfenwa has played for the club since 2014, but is searching for a new outfit as his contract is not expected to be renewed at Kingsmeadow.

After the final whistle at Wembley, Akinfenwa told Sky Sports News: "It's what dreams are made of. Scoring, winning. It's a beautiful feeling. We were the underdogs - it isn't only Leicester who can do it, we can do it too.

"There ain't no better way to leave this club. A sidebar - I think I'm now technically unemployed. So any managers, hit me up on WhatsApp and get me a job!"

Lyle Taylor scored the opening goal for Wimbledon in the 78th minute.
