Niall McGinn spoke to RedTV after signing his contract this morning.

“It is a great feeling to be back.

“When I was driving up the road this morning it brought back a lot of good memories when I came into Aberdeen.

“I am over the moon that we got the deal over the line. I have really enjoyed my time off in the last three or four weeks and I am now looking forward to getting going again tomorrow.

“I am well refreshed and I am eager to go again.

“I had a number of options and had some very good options. So I just went back home and relaxed and did not rush into any decision.

“But once Aberdeen came calling there was only one place I was going.

“I am delighted to have everything signed.

“The main thing for me is to get my head down, get back working hard again and get my fitness back during the winter break and hopefully I am back in a red shirt very soon.

“I have really enjoyed my time under the manager. It was a massive reason why I came back. I wanted to work under him and Tony and I am also looking forward to working with all the players again.

“The manager, the players and also the fans were all factors. Since day one the Aberdeen supporters have been unbelievable with me. Even when I left they were fine with me and I have had a lot of positive messages on social media recently which I appreciate”
