Former MK Dons duo Joe White and Danilo Orsi find new clubs in League One

Former MK Dons players Joe White and Danilo Orsi have signed for new clubs, with White joining Leyton Orient and Orsi making a move to AFC Wimbledon.

Both players spent time last season on loan in Milton Keynes, with White joining the Dons on a season-long loan from Newcastle and Orsi signing in January from Burton Albion during the Dons’ management by his former Crawley Town boss Scott Lindsay.

White’s move to East London sees him join Leyton Orient on a season-long loan, with the 22-year-old midfielder making another EFL loan after previous spells with Hartlepool, Exeter, Crewe and the Dons.

Last season, White made 35 appearances in a season-long loan in Milton Keynes. He scored 6 times and made 2 assists.

The moves sees White become the 10th summer signing for the East London-based club, who are aiming to push on after reaching the play-offs in League One last season.

Meanwhile, Orsi has become the latest player to represent both MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon, with the striker joining AFC Wimbledon from Burton Albion.

The 29-year-old joined AFC Wimbledon for an undisclosed fee, with the striker signing a two-year contract for the West London-based club.

Orsi spent the second half of last season on loan in Milton Keynes, scoring 3 goals in 18 appearances on loan after joining Burton from Crawley at the end of the previous season.

MK Dons elected not to make Orsi’s transfer a full transfer, with the striker returning to Burton Albion upon expiry of his loan move and the Brewers now duly selling him onwards.

Players who have also previously represented both sides of the post-Wimbledon rivalry between AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons include current MK Dons duo Conor Lemonheigh-Evans and Connal Trueman, as well as Tennai Watson, Henry Lawrence, Paris Maghoma and Drewe Broughton.
