"I knew there was a possibility of coming here after they had played the two cup games," he told the club website.

"They've got a really strong team who are up there challenging in the playoff places, and the facilities at the Training Ground are great. After speaking with the gaffer, it was an easy decision to make the move."

Manager Des Buckingham added: "Jamie is a really good keeper. Lewis Price, our goalkeeping coach, worked with him at MK and rates him very highly.

"We knew James Beadle might be recalled by Brighton so had been talking to Chelsea for a while. It's great that we've got this signed and completed ahead of the weekend."
