Nesta Guinness-Walker has joined Aberdeen on a two-year contract.

The 26-year-old left-back arrives at Pittodrie after an impressive spell with Northampton Town, bringing valuable experience from AFC Wimbledon, Reading and Stevenage.

A product of the Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur youth systems, Nesta has earned a reputation as an attack-minded defender.

“I’m buzzing to be here,” said Nesta.

“As soon as Aberdeen showed interest, I was keen to get the deal done.

“I’m here to continue my development and, of course, help the team win games.

“The Club has a rich history, the fans look amazing, and after speaking to the manager, the ambition here was clear. It is something I’m eager to be part of.”

Nesta is the ninth player to arrive at Pittodrie in the summer window and Dons boss Stephen Robinson believes he will bring the attributes required for a competitive season ahead.

He said: “Nesta brings real pace and energy down the side, and his experience will also help Emmanuel and Mitchel with their continued development.

“He has played extensively in the English Championship and League One and was named Northampton’s Player of the Year last season.

“He will need a few weeks to get up to speed, as his season finished earlier, but our team behind the scenes will create a tailored programme to help him integrate and be ready for action as quickly as possible.”

Everyone at Aberdeen FC welcomes Nesta to the Club and wishes him every success at Pittodrie.
