Southampton midfielder Jake Hesketh and Middlesbrough striker Stephen Walker have signed for promotion-chasing League Two side MK Dons.

The pair have joined on loan until the end of the season.

Hesketh, 22, has made four appearances for Saints since his debut as a substitute against Manchester United in December 2014.

Walker made his Boro debut in August in the Carabao Cup and has been a regular for their under-18s and under-23s.

MK Dons manager Paul Tisdale said: "We are looking for some more energy and drive in our front line and Stephen will do that."
