Aberdeen have signed Mats Knoester following the expiration of the centre-half’s contract at Ferencvaros.

The 26-year-old is the Dons’ fifth recruit of the January transfer window.

Having agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal at Pittodrie, Knoester told the club website: “I had other options but when I knew Aberdeen were interested, I wanted to come here.

“I was already aware of the club and how big it was and as soon as I arrived, I could see how professional the environment is.

“I am looking forward to this challenge, in a good league, where football is deep in the culture.”

The left-sided defender spent three seasons at Heracles after coming through the academy at Feyenoord.

He made the switch to Ferencvaros in 2022, winning the Hungarian title the following year, and spent last season on loan at Aarhus in Denmark.

“Mats has a really strong pedigree”, said Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin.

“He has had a good football education in the Netherlands and brings with him experience in European competitions.”
