Scotland International Stuart Armstrong Signs Two-Year Aberdeen Contract

Scottish international midfielder Stuart Armstrong has signed a two-year contract with Aberdeen FC after leaving Sheffield Wednesday, marking a return to his hometown club nearly two decades after an initial trial did not result in a signing. Armstrong, capped 51 times by Scotland and with a distinguished career including spells at Celtic and Southampton, expressed excitement about the move, eager to play competitive football and participate in European competitions with Aberdeen. Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin highlighted Armstrong's talent and leadership qualities, emphasizing the club's strategy to blend experienced Scottish players with young prospects for a busy upcoming schedule. Armstrong's signing was a late addition to Aberdeen's squad, following other key acquisitions, and fulfilled European competition roster requirements by including domestic players. Armstrong reflected on his journey from local youth clubs through professional ranks and sees this as a full-circle moment in his football career. His presence is expected to add depth and experience to Aberdeen’s midfield as they contend in both domestic and European fixtures.
