Aberdeen today completed the signing of youngster Connor McLennan. The 16 year old has graduated through the AFC youth Academy and formally joined as a full time professional this afternoon. Yesterday, in his full start for the Aberdeen U20s, he scored a late winner in the 2-1 win over Motherwell.   Connor, who is from Peterhead and attended Peterhead Academy, has been in with the club since he was nine and came from Peterhead Boys Club. He was involved with Jim Crawford's Advanced Youth Skills Centre and then started playing with the U10s. He represented Scotland at U16 and U17 level last season.   After the game yesterday in Peterhead, Paul Sheerin told RedTV: “I am pleased for Connor because he has had a hard time this season. He played on the opening day of the season but has struggled since then with injuries. Hopefully the goal will give him a real boost.

“He is a player we have high hopes for. He has got pace, he is powerful, at great finisher, real natural ability and has good ability in the final third. We are hopeful that he is one that if we keep him fit and he gets a run of games then he will develop to a good level.”   Everyone at AFC wishes Connor all the best during his professional career at Pittodrie.
