Paul Quinn joins The Dons

Aberdeen have completed the signing of defender Paul Quinn who previously played for Ross County, Doncaster Rovers, Cardiff City and Motherwell.

The Wishaw born 29 year old came through the youth ranks at Motherwell, playing 161 games for the Steelmen before moving south to Cardiff City in 2009 for a fee of £300,000. He made 46 appearances for the Welsh club before joining Doncaster Rovers, where he played 73 times between 2012 and 2014.

Returning to Scotland, he signed for Ross County in October last year, making 26 appearances until the end of last season when he became a free agent.

Paul is looking forward to getting started with his new club. “Aberdeen is huge club and I can’t wait to get started. When I heard Derek McInnes was interested in signing me, it was something of a no-brainer while playing in Europe was another major factor.”

Derek McInnes added. “I’m delighted to sign Paul, who has been a major influence on Ross County’s form in the second half of the season. We’re looking forward to him having a positive influence on our team.

“We’ve watched Paul on several occasions in the last few months and the key qualities he’ll bring to the team are his experience, leadership and competitiveness. You cannot have too many leaders on the pitch.”

Paul has signed a two year contract at Pittodrie.
