New MK Dons boss Paul Tisdale is a fan of D’Ath and sees him as a key addition to his plans as he looks to build a squad capable of winning promotion back to League One at the first time of asking next season.
Mansfield are also interested in D’Ath as they look to assemble a side able to challenge for promotion themselves next season.
D’Ath, who started his career at Reading, has won two promotions from League Two during his career at Northampton and Luton and he would be an astute signing for either MK Dons or Mansfield.
