ABERDEEN have announced the signing of Callum Morris on a free transfer following his release from Dundee United.
The English centre-back arrives on a one-year deal after leaving the Tannadice club following an injury-hit season.
The 26-year-old made only 15 appearances during 2015/16 due to hamstring, knee and ligament problems.

He spent two seasons with Dunfermline between 2012 and 2014 before moving to United, where he scored three goals in 45 outings.
Morris said to RedTV: "I am very excited to be here and looking forward to getting started. I was pleased to get everything finalised so I could get myself ready for pre-season and I can come in and meet the boys straight away.
"I got a call from my agent to say the manager had been in touch. As soon as I heard that I had my mind set on coming up here. It is obviously a huge club with a very good squad and they showed that when they pushed Celtic all the way last season.
"What an opportunity it is for me. It is something any player would jump at the chance to be part of. I am really looking forward to the European games starting later this month."
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
