Midfielder Derek Young cannot believe his luck after returning to Aberdeen on a two-year deal.

The 27-year-old left Pittodrie in 2003, but has re-signed for Jimmy Calderwood's side after spending three seasons with Dunfermline and one with Partick Thistle.

Young told the Press & Journal: "Jimmy phoned me a week ago and ran the move by me to see if I might be interested.

"Thankfully, within a couple of days of calls between my agent and the club, we were able to come to an agreement.

"To be honest, I would have started walking up to Pittodrie as soon as I got off the phone to sign if Jimmy had asked me.

"It is a fantastic move for me and I never thought I would get a chance like this. It has come as a huge surprise to me, but I am really looking forward to coming back to my old club."
