"I’m buzzing to be here," O'Reilly said of his Dons move. "I’m happy it’s finally got over the line and I can’t wait to get started. The stadium is great, it’s a big pitch too and I’m excited to show people what I can do.

"I’m a creative player. I like to get on the ball a lot, I like to excite fans and play with no fear. I want to help the team as much as I can, I want to create chances and score goals. I want to make an impact and be positive around the group."

Dons manager Scott Lindsey said: "Tommi is a really exciting footballer. He plays as a number ten, but can fulfil a position anywhere across that frontline. He's really comfortable on the ball, likes to dribble, drive forward and make things happen.

"He's a player that I think we needed, we haven't got many ball carriers in the squad and he certainly brings that.

"He's had a good loan spell at Shrewsbury Town in League One, that was a really good experience for him and he's ticked that box but now he can come to a team that's fighting for promotion."
