League One MK Dons have opened talks with Alan Smith about a permanent move to stadium:mk. Smith made 18 appearances for the Dons on loan from Newcastle last season.
The 31-year-old former Leeds and Manchester United player is available on a free transfer after being released by the Magpies.
"But I don't take anything for granted in football because there are so many things that can change people's decisions." "We've had a little chat and it's looking good, me and Smithy get on very well," Dons boss Karl Robinson told MK News.
