He has three caps for the Republic of Ireland at U21 level.
“I’m very pleased,” said Grant. “I’m delighted to be here and I can’t wait to get started.
“I spoke to Liam Sweeting and the gaffer earlier in the Summer and I was very impressed by what they had to say. How the gaffer wants to play and how the club is run really suits me so hopefully I will fit right in.
“I am player who will always give 100% and I see myself as a creative attacking player who will hopefully keep the fans excited.”
Dons manager Liam Manning added: “Conor is an exciting addition to the squad and a player we are looking forward to working with.
“He has a number of qualities, technically and physically, which we have seen from watching him regularly at Rochdale.
“He has shown good potential so far and it is now down to him, with the support of the staff, to unlock that promise and produce high-quality moments on a consistent basis.”
