Aberdeen yesterday announced that two more players had signed pre-contract agreements, with Cheltenham Town goalkeeper Scott Brown and Tranmere Rovers defender Ash Taylor agreeing to move to Pittodrie next season.
Shay Logan also signed a pre-contract earlier this week and he has been joined by Brown - a product of the youth system at Wolverhampton Wanderers - and 23-year-old Taylor. Confirmation of the deals was greeted warmly by Derek McInnes.
"Scott is highly-regarded," said the Aberdeen manager. "We watched him the whole of last season and we feel we've got a more than capable goalkeeper to come in and provide real competition in that area.
"Ash has got a great presence and he's at a great age. He's only 23 but has already played 200 games in League One in England and he's a player we think we can work with and improve. We faced significant competition to get him."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
