Chris Cadden has signed for Aberdeen on a two-year-contract from fellow Premiership side Hibernian.

The 29-year-old made his final appearance for Hibs last night from the bench, as they completed a second-leg Conference League qualifier turnaround against Kosovan side Malisheva, winning 4-1 after suffering a humiliating 2-0 defeat away last week.

He now links-up again with Stephen Robinson, with the pair having worked with one another at Motherwell, and Robinson hailed his new recruit after 166 games for the Edinburgh side.

Robinson told club channels: “Chris is a brilliant addition to our group, not just because of what he’ll bring on the pitch but because of the character and professionalism he’ll add to the dressing room.

“He has a great engine, always shows a willingness to get forward and support the attack, but he’s also matured into a really dependable full-back defensively.

“He was incredibly keen to make this move happen and that tells you a lot about his hunger and his desire to be part of what we’re building here.”

Cadden admitted regular minutes was a key factor in his decision, as well as reuniting with Robinson, going on to say:

“Having worked with the manager before, I know the scale of his ambition and what he is looking to achieve. His passion and vision for the team were clear.

“It’s a fresh challenge for me.”

Aberdeen kick-off their league season on Saturday evening at home to last season’s runners-up Hearts, in a fixture where the away side has not won at either team’s ground since 2017.
