Aberdeen have signed West Brom defender Jared Hodgkiss on loan until January.

Hodgkiss, 21, recently penned a two-year contract with the Premier League club, but has been signed by Dons boss Jimmy Calderwood to provide cover at right-back.

"It's a position Lee Mair and Stuart Duff can play, but they are better elsewhere," he revealed.

"Richard Foster has done well there so I've told Jared he won't come in straight away, but he's in the squad."
