Highly rated left back Mitchel Frame has today joined the club from Celtic.

The 19-year-old from Ayrshire will head to the North-east on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

A youth international, who has represented Scotland at Under-17 and Under-19 level, Mitchel rose through the ranks in the Celtic Youth Academy, making his senior debut for the club in a UEFA Champions League victory over Feyenoord in 2023.

“We have been monitoring Mitchel’s progress for some time, and we are very pleased we have eventually managed to sign him”, said Dons boss Jimmy Thelin.

“He is a forward-thinking full back, with pace and physicality, and he fits well with how we want to play and what our expectations are of our full backs. His arrival will also give us more resilience and stability in that area of the pitch.

“He’s an exciting talent and we look forward to working with him to help him release his future potential.”

In what is an important step in his bourgeoning career, Mitchel is looking forward to playing his part in the season ahead as the Dons compete both domestically and in Europe.

He said: “This is a great opportunity for me to come and play at such a big club.

“As soon as I heard Aberdeen were interested I was really excited. I know it will be a great opportunity to prove myself and take the next step in my career. I want to show everyone what I am capable of.

“I want to go and experience playing in the Conference League. It will be good to face different opposition and get exposure to that.

“I just want to play as many games as I can and help the team achieve success.”
