Released West Ham man joins new club in League One on a free transfer

David Martin has joined MK Dons following his release by West Ham.

The Hammers cut ties with the experienced goalkeeper at the end of the last campaign and he has now linked up with his former club.

Martin, 36, has been training with the Dons over recent times and has now penned a contract with the League One side, as announced on their official Twitter page (see below):

West Ham spell

West Ham swooped to sign the stopper back in 2019 to provide competition and back-up to their goalkeeping department.

He spent the past three years at the London Stadium and made five appearances in all competitions.

However, his five games for the Premier League side came in his first year at the club and he didn’t play a single match for them over the past two seasons.

The Hammers decided not to extend his stay when his contract expired at the end of June and he subsequently became a free agent.

Martin has now returned to MK Dons having played for them from 2010 to 2017. He played 318 times for the Buckinghamshire outfit and helped them gain promotion to the Championship during his time there.

He has also played for the likes of Liverpool, Leeds United, Tranmere Rovers and Millwall in the past.
