Luke Moore will not commit his future to AFC Wimbledon while he waits for the right deal from boss Neal Ardley.

The midfielder played a pivotal role in the League Two run-in that ended in final day drama and survival at the end of April.

The fans’ favourite has made 99 appearances for the Dons since signing in the summer of 2009, but has attracted attention from League Two champions Gillingham, as well as Portsmouth.

Moore said: “If the right offer is made to me then I will be happy to sign on at Wimbledon.

“I have been given an offer at the moment and it is just a case of looking over it and seeing what is best for me.

“It is a long process – you meet the manager, he gives his side and you go away and reflect on it.

“Everything takes time, but hopefully I will be in a Wimbledon shirt next season.

“I will know more in the next week or so.

“It is not nice when you are not 100 per cent sure of what you’re doing.

“You want to get everything settled as soon as you can so you can enjoy your summer and look forward to pre-season when you come back.”

It has been a busy time for Ardley since the end of the season as huge personel changes take place.

Last week, he released nine players, while loanee Jonathan Meades opted to join League Two rivals Oxford United and on-loan goalkeeper John Sullivan switched to Portsmouth.

Meades, who joined the Dons on loan from Bournemouth in November, tweeted: “Delighted to have signed for Oxford and looking forward to the coming season and making it a successful one.

“Want to thank everyone at AFC Wimbledon, especially Neal Ardley and the fans. Had an amazing time.”

Moore said: “The club do not have the finances that other clubs do. “Some of the guys have had offers elsewhere and chosen them over Wimbledon, which is a shame.

“Everyone knows these things happen when you get into football. “The club has been brilliant to all the players and we played our hearts out to stay in League Two.”

Despite the protracted nature of his contracts talk, Moore praised Ardley for revolutionising the team and galvanising them to safety.

It was a safety reached on a very public last day of the season, that had its roots in the privacy of the training field.

Moore said: “Neal made everything in training a lot more intense and sharper. “It was more professional in a way – if you were late he would crack down on that.

“He is a top coach and manager, and he has a great future ahead of him.

“He was probably the main reason we stayed up in the end.”
