MK Dons release Mathias Doumbe but two others sign on

MK Dons have released Mathias Doumbe but triggered one-year extensions on the contracts of fellow defenders Gary MacKenzie and Jon Otsemobor.

Adam Chicksen, Dean Lewington and Ian McLoughlin have been offered new deals.

Frenchman Doumbe, 33, played 28 times this season and is now a free agent after four years in Milton Keynes.

"Mathias has been an excellent servant to this football club and has proven to be a tremendous professional," boss Karl Robinson told the club website.

"He is a strong character who has played a large part in our recent history and it was a hard decision to release him this year.

"However, with the Financial Fair Play regulations becoming even stricter this season we have to be prudent with our recruitment policy and along the way we will have to make tough decisions."
