Defender Dugdale, 22, began his career at Crewe and had a spell with Belgian side Racing Club Montegnee last season.

Centre-half Brown, 26, has joined the Bucks after being released by Burton.

Brown was released from a short-term contract at the Pirelli Stadium, his previous clubs include Walsall, Reading and Yeovil.
