John Hartson has committed himself to Wimbledon until the end of the season

after admitting his on-off transfer to Coventry City is "dead".

The Welsh striker had been the subject of a stg£5million move to Highfield Road with Cedric Roussel moving in the opposite direction - but the deal fell through because the Belgian was opposed to it.

Hartson is now concentrating on helping Wimbledon climb the First Division table and he is hoping to return to the Dons' squad for tomorrow's trip to Portsmouth.
