Barnet have signed MK Dons midfielder Paul Mitchell on a month-long loan.

The 27-year-old former Wigan player is currently recovering from an 18-month injury lay-off after he broke his leg and ankle in February 2007.

He made his competitive comeback in the Dons' Carling Cup 2-1 defeat by Cardiff City on Tuesday.

Mitchell told the Dons website: "I'm very grateful to Paul Fairclough and Barnet for giving me a chance. They've obviously taken a bit of a risk."
