Baker moves from Wrexham

Ex-United goalkeeper Matt Baker has moved on from Wrexham after spending no more than five months at the Racecourse. Baker is the second signing that the new MK Dons manager has made since taking charge recently. The ex-English Semi Pro international, who spent four seasons at Edgar Street making 124 appearances, turns twenty five tomorrow.

"Danny (Wilson) has offered Matt the chance of first-team football with Milton Keynes," Wrexham boss Denis Smith told the BBC.

"Matt has proved a more than capable deputy for the injured Dibbs but was only on a one-year deal. So with his contract up this summer anyway, I do think this was best for all parties concerned. He has played well for us and I thank him for his efforts on our behalf," added Smith.

Baker left Edgar Street in hope of furthering his career, but his move to Wrexham turned out not to be as successful as he would have hoped; he was second choice to Andy Dibble there. His new club may turn out to be better for him, but MK Dons are by no means safe in League One, they lie in the relegation zone with just eighteen points from twenty one games.
