Milton Keynes Dons boss Martin Allen has told Junior Lewis that it is time for him to focus on his coaching career.
Lewis currently works as a player-coach at the National Hockey Stadium, but Allen does not envisage the 33-year-old midfielder featuring for the first team.
"He's fit now so he could do a job for the team," Allen told the Milton Keynes Citizen.
"But Junior has got to understand now that his football career is over. He's got to focus on the development of our young players.
"If I started picking him it would be a backwards step for those young boys, and I've got an eye on the future.
"It's his job to get these boys that are out on loan, who train with us in the week, in shape ready for me."
