The 6'4" front man scored eighteen goals as part of MK Dons promotion quest last season, an attempt which fell at the penultimate hurdle with a play-off semi-final defeat.

All eighteen goals came from open play and Clive snapped up both the Fans Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year award at the League Two club.

His haul of eighteen goals also saw him finish joint third in the League Two top scorer stakes and he became the first MK Dons player to score a hat-trick in the club's new guise.

Despite being only 29, he arrives with a multitude of experience under his belt.

Born in Wolverhampton, he started his Football League career with nearby Walsall, where he came through the ranks as an apprentice.

After four years at the Bescot Stadium, spells at Rochdale, Notts County and Peterborough United followed. He has gone on to make over 350 league appearances and 409 career appearances in total at an average of nearly 40 games per season since making his debut for the Saddlers back in August 1996.

He was dubbed "The Tree" by then Dons manager Martin Allen, who succeeded in getting more that just aerial dominance from a player in the best shape of his career.

And following Chris Iwelumo's departure during the summer, it is fair to say that Clive will be taking on the target man role in the new look U's squad as he looks to make an impression at Championship level.

Away from football, Clive has enjoyed personal success over the last twelve months, with this season seeing his first child, a baby girl, born just after Christmas.
