And speaking for the first time after the move, former Wednesday man Corbeanu explained his interest was piqued as soon as he heard of interest from Stadium MK.
“I'm very excited,” Corbeanu told his new club’s official website. “This is a new chapter for me and I am looking forward to getting started and kicking on here.
“When I heard that Liam Manning and MK Dons were interested in me, I was excited. I played against the team earlier this season and I knew this is a club that plays a very positive style of football and I think, at this point in time, it is the right next step for me.
“We already have a good side here already, with some really good players who are doing extremely well, and hopefully I can help out. I will look to bring what I'm about, which is a positive style of play, always wanting to play forwards and make things happen by scoring some goals and getting assists.”

“He is a really exciting player who provides us with added dynamism and gives us a threat one-v-one as well as in front of goal. I’m looking forward to watching what he will bring to us for the second half of the season.
“I’d like to thank Wolves, and Matt Jackson in particular, for their help in organising things so efficiently.”
