AFC Wimbledon defender set for Scottish Premiership loan

AFC Wimbledon defender Will Nightingale is set to join Scottish Premiership side Ross County.

The South London Press understands Nightingale will join the Staggies on an initial six-month loan deal.

Nightingale, 27, came through Wimbledon’s academy and has made 204 first-team appearances for the club.

He has two years left to go on the three-and-a-half-year deal he signed in March 2022.

The centre-back featured 25 times last season for Johnnie Jackson.

However, the Dons have signed defensive reinforcements this summer, with Joe Lewis arriving on loan from Stockport and Ryan Johnson signing a two-year deal following his release from the Hatters.

Ross County are managed by former Cardiff and Wigan boss Malky Mackay.
