League One side MK Dons have signed Birmingham City forward Jonathan Leko for an undisclosed fee.

The ex-England youth international, 23, is the first player to join since Mark Jackson was appointed as head coach.

Leko, who has played 137 first-team games for West Bromwich Albion, Bristol City, Charlton Athletic and Birmingham, said the move was a "great fit".

"I'm willing to get on the ball and beat players and hopefully I can score some goals," he told the club website.

MK Dons are second from bottom in the table with just six wins from 24 league games so far.

Leko added: "I know the position we find ourselves in but I know a couple of wins can change everything. Hopefully I can come in and help us towards that."

The length of his contract at Stadium: MK has not been disclosed.
