Scotland cap Armstrong signs for Aberdeen

Scotland midfielder Stuart Armstrong has signed a two-year contract with Aberdeen after his release by Sheffield Wednesday.

The 33-year-old, capped 51 times, becomes the 13th addition to Jimmy Thelin’s squad this summer.

“We have been tracking Stuart for some time and we are so pleased to be able to add a player of his talent and experience to our group,” Thelin said.

“Stuart has had an impressive career at the top level of the game and we hope he can act as another leader in our squad.

“With such a busy schedule coming up, we want to drive competition in all areas of the park who can bring different attributes to how we play.

“We also have several very talented young prospects and having a core of experienced players from Scotland to help them develop has always been part of our strategy.”
