Wickham was part of the MK Dons side that defeated Sunderland in February, scoring the winner for his side 15 minutes from time.
"It was nice to get a good reception from the fans,” Whickham said after that match, “but ultimately we're on track for a good end to the season, so it's a massive three points to us and I'm buzzing."
