Aberdeen FC can today confirm Irish international Stephen Gleeson has agreed to move to Pittodrie.

The former Ipswich Town midfielder will join the Dons on a two-year deal when the players report back for pre-season.

At 29, Stephen brings with a wealth of experience to the Ladbrokes Premiership. He made over 200 appearances for MK Dons before spending three and half seasons at Birmingham City.

He made his first senior Republic of Ireland appearance in 2007 and was involved again with the squad in 2017, scoring in a friendly against Mexico. He has four caps to date.

It is the Dons third signing of the summer, with Lewis Ferguson and Chris Forrester having joined for the 2018/19 campaign.

Manager Derek McInnes has now secured the services of another very talented midfielder.

‘I’m delighted to bring his experience to Aberdeen. He’s exactly the type of player we wanted for that role. He’s got the qualities to be a very good player, both on and off the pitch and as a club we’ll be able to give him what he demands of himself.

‘Following the news about Lewis and then Chris a couple of weeks ago, I’m excited to see what these players can bring to the club.’
