Dons confirm 10th summer signing – with midfielder joining from Rochdale on a free transfer

AFC Wimbledon have confirmed the signing of James Ball from Rochdale.

The 27-year-old has joined the Dons on a free transfer, signing a two-year deal at Plough Lane.

Wimbledon have now completed 10 new signings ahead of the 2023-24 League Two season.

Ball has had spells at Stockport County, Stevenage, Ebbsfleet United and Solihull Moors during his career.

He scored two goals and picked up one assist last season for Rochdale as they finished bottom of League Two and were relegated.

“Myself and the manager had a couple of calls and he expressed what he wants to see from the team. Everything he said fitted with my game and what I want to do this season,” Ball told the club website.

“Moving forwards in terms of position has been a natural progression. I’ve become a goalscoring midfielder over time and that’s what I pride myself on. I’m big, I’m physical and I like getting in the box.”
