Eastleigh have confirmed the signing of ex-AFC Wimbledon striker Jack Midson on a two year deal.
The 30 year old netted 42 goals in 140 appearances for the Don's but was among eight players released by the Don's earlier this month, bringing an end to a 3 year association between club and player.
His new boss Richard Hill admitted to not wasting any time in contacting the player once he learned of Midson's release from AFC Wimbledon:
"I have been speaking to Jack for a few weeks now, desperately trying to get this deal over the line. Jack is an extremely ambitious lad and, to come and play in the Conference, he needed to be convinced that we’re not going into this league just to tread water"
In his first season at Kingsmeadow, Midson scored 18 goals to finish tied top of the League Two scoring charts in 2011-12.
Continued his potency in front of goal the following season as the clubs top scorer in the league with 13 goals.
Hill stated that the acquisition of a player like Midson is a positive move for the clubs future:
"Jack has committed to us for the next two years and, once more, that speaks volumes for this club’s long-term aspirations. We are all looking forward to welcoming a player of Jack’s pedigree and goal-scoring ability into what we consider is already a high-quality squad."
Midsun is Eastleigh's second signing this week after signing James Constable also on a two year contract.
