Horne convinced there's still more to come from Hey

Richard Horne believes there is even more to come from Brad Hey after the centre extended his stay with the Dons.

Hey has signed a new two-year deal with the club, following three successful seasons at the Eco-Power Stadium.

And head coach Horne says, even at the age of 31, Hey is continuing to improve.

“I do think we’ve seen real development in Brad’s game and that will only carry on into the new season,” Horne said. “He’s got brilliant working relationships with his winger and that is improving all the time.

“He’s got the hunger to be better, and to do better for this club and that’s massive. Brad’s been a big player for us over the last few years and you can see what it means to him.

“I think he’s definitely one of those who really took last season’s finish to heart and wants to do better next year - both himself and the team as a whole.

“That’s the sort of attitude that will drive us on to where we want to go. He knows what is needed and he’s really determined to deliver it.

“I definitely feel like there’s more to come from him and he shares that view. He’s the sort of lad you want out on the field and I’m really pleased he’s sticking with us.”
