“Last season was disappointing personally, I didn't play as much and I want to prove to myself what level I can get to.

“I'm at that age where I need to be playing football. Aberdeen is a massive club. The chance to work under the manager as well was always in my thinking. Hopefully he can get the best out of me.

“It's always good to feel wanted. Derek's kept in touch, just to see how things are going, and I've kept an eye on Aberdeen.

“I didn't want it dragging on and on until late in August and I might not have this opportunity.

“I might have gone somewhere I didn't want to go, so the sooner the better.

“They were unlucky last season not to win one and they're going to be aiming for silverware each year, so I don't see why we can't win a cup this season.”
