Albion’s pathway development manager David Weir said, “Ryan deserves the opportunity to show what he’s capable of at Championship level after a really good year at Wimbledon.

“He came on leaps and bounds there and this presents him with the chance to show what he has learned against a step-up in quality of opponent each week.

“This is an exciting chance for Ryan. We’re looking forward to closely monitoring how he progresses and wish him well for the season ahead.”

Longman netted nine times in 51 appearances for the Dons last season, as he helped them retain their League One status.
