Aberdeen FC can confirm defender Michael Devlin will leave the Club having had his contract terminated.

Commenting on his departure, manager Jim Goodwin, said: “I’ve known Mikey a long time, having both been at Hamilton Accies a number of years ago. He’s a great lad but has unfortunately had a horrendous time with injuries.

“The Club has been a fantastic support to him through this challenging period but, with Mikey having taken some time away from Cormack Park to think about his future, it was apparent that the time was right for him to move on from Aberdeen.

“We all wish him the very best in the future.”

Whilst sorry to be leaving Pittodrie, Michael was keen to extend his gratitude to all at Aberdeen for their support since he arrived at the Club.

He said: “I’d like to thank the manager, staff, and Chairman for the opportunity to play for a Club like Aberdeen.

“Despite the challenges I have faced I have loved my time here and am leaving with some brilliant memories.

“I would also like to express my thanks to the fans for their backing and continued support since I joined Aberdeen in 2018, in particular over the last 18 months, which have been a very difficult period for me.

“This is a fantastic Club and city, with a wonderful support. I wish everyone associated with Aberdeen every success in the future.”
