A spokesman for the Dons said the club is “delighted” with the signing.

He added: “The wide player, who will be given squad number 11, becomes Derek McInnes’ fifth signing of the summer so far.

“He will join fellow new boys Greg Tansey, Ryan Christie, Greg Stewart and Nicky Maynard in the dressing room.
