Could AFC Wimbledon sign ex-QPR and Reading defender this summer?

AFC Wimbledon boss glyn hodges will be eager to bolster his side this summer.

The Dons have flirted with relegation this season in League One and are in need of some reinforcements.

One player they could look to sign is experienced defender Matthew Connolly, who is poised to become a free agent when his contract at Cardiff City expires.

Hodges knows the centre-back from when he was a coach at QPR and may consider a swoop for him over the coming months.

Connolly, who is 32 years old, will weigh up his options as he seeks to find a new club.

The defender has racked up over 300 appearances in his career and would add more options and depth into Wimbledon’s defensive options for next term.

Connolly started out at Arsenal and played twice for the Gunners’ first-team as a youngster, as well as having loan spells away at AFC Bournemouth and Colchester United. He switched to fellow London side QPR in 2008 and spent four years at Loftus Road.

He helped the R’s win the Championship title in 2011, and then won it again the season after on loan at Reading.

Connolly signed for Cardiff City after his loan at the Madejski Stadium ended and made it three second tier league titles in a row with the Bluebirds in his first year there.

He has played 146 times for the Welsh side since his move there eight years ago. Connolly also spent the 2014/15 campaign at Watford and earned his fourth promotion to the Premier League.
