THE lure of being part of AFC Wimbledon’s eagerly-anticipated return to Plough Lane was too tempting for Steve Seddon to turn down.

Seddon excited by Plough Lane switch

So having now rejoined the League One club on loan, he wants to make sure the move back to their spiritual home, which is just a matter of weeks away, is a memorable one.

Seddon was part of the Dons side which staged a great escape at the end of the 2018/19 campaign before spending the second half of last season back on loan in League One with Portsmouth.

Having found himself left out of Aitor Karanka’s first matchday squads at parent club Birmingham this time around, the 22-year-old left-back was eager for first-team football and the chance to witness Wimbledon’s new era first-hand was a big pull.

“As soon as I knew Wimbledon was on the cards, I swayed towards that,” said Seddon. “Since I left, there has been all the talk of going back to Plough Lane. I definitely thought something special could be done and I wanted to be a part of that.
