New signing Nisbet boosts Aberdeen's 'identity' - Thelin

Scotland striker Kevin Nisbet has returned to Aberdeen from Millwall for a fee in the region of £300,000 and on a three-year deal.

The 28-year-old spent last season on loan at Pittodrie but has now has signed a three-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club.

Nisbet, who has 11 caps for his country, was sold to Millwall by Hibernian in summer 2023, signing a three-year contract.

But, despite 30 appearances for the Championship club, 20 of them starts, and scoring five times, he was sent on loan to Aberdeen last season.

"Kevin made a real impact during his time here last season and his arrival provides a long-term solution to our attacking options,", Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin told the club's website.

"He has proven goal scoring ability, and we were really starting to see all that Kevin can offer towards the end of last season. As a Scottish International he helps enhance the identity of our team, which we continue to develop.

"What is most important to us is that Kevin really wanted to be here at Aberdeen. He knows what we are looking to achieve here, and he wants to continue to be a part of that."

Nisbet scored 13 goals in 38 appearances for Jimmy Thelin's side, helping them lift the Scottish Cup.

On his return to Millwall, he has made one start and three substitute appearances this season.

Glasgow-born Nisbet started his career with Partick Thistle and also played for Raith Rovers and Dunfermline Athletic before joining Hibs.
