McGhee Gets His Man
Rory McArdle has finally moved to Aberdeen following his pre-contract agreement to move to the Dons in May. Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee made his first signing of the summer transfer window as Rory McArdle put pen to paper on his new contract. The defender had agreed a pre-contract agreement with the club in May and has now finalised the arrangement. McArdle recently won two caps with Northern Ireland, making his international debut against Turkey in Santiago during their summer tour. Speaking earlier in the summer, McGhee told the club's official website that he was delighted to sign McArdle. He said: "Rory McArdle represents the type of signings we are trying to make. I want players who are going to improve the squad, are going to be good enough for the SPL but have a little bit of potential about them, some improvement in them. He is not the finished article and we don't know how good Rory will go on to become. He has just broken into the Northern Ireland international team so there is a little bit of development there as well which is good as we don't just want to be bringing in players who have done it, seen it and maybe lack the hunger we need. I think it is an exciting signing in that sense. Everything we heard about him was positive and from what we saw of him thought he was good enough to join us. In the present market we think we have done really well to sign an international player." Editor Ger Harley (ger@scottishfitba net)Admin Team (admin@scottishfitba net)This is Scottish-Fitba Net
