Aberdeen defender Mason Hancock has today signed a new one-year contract extension with the Club and has joined cinch League Two side Stirling Albion on loan for the remainder of the 2021/22 season.

The left-footed centre back, who was originally part of the Fulham Academy, signed for Aberdeen in August 2020 after a successful trial. The 18-year-old from south London previously had spells at Woking and Oxford United.
