Lewis Mayo has agreed a three-year deal to join Aberdeen when his current contract expires this summer.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old centre-back, who most recently played for Kilmarnock FC, will officially become a Dons player ahead of the 2026\/27 season, adding leadership and versatility to the Club\u2019s defensive unit.<\/p>\n
Lewis, who established himself as one of the Scottish Premiership\u2019s most consistent defenders during his time at Rugby Park, is known for his strong defensive instincts and significant pace, and had been a key figure in Kilmarnock\u2019s backline.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very happy to be here and can\u2019t wait to get started\u201d, said Lewis. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know the manager is ambitious, as is everyone at the Club. When I spoke to the manager, I got a real good feel of what his plans are. There are clear plans in place here for how we can progress and I want to be a part of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a versatile defender, these last few years I have played right across a back four and a back three, so I have experience of playing different positions which is something the manager recognises.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is always a great crowd and atmosphere at Pittodrie, and I\u2019m looking forward to experiencing that as a home player.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am excited to get to work, and I am hopeful it is going to be a good season for us. Alongside the fans I\u2019m sure we can have a really good time together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson welcomed his first summer signing, saying:<\/p>\n
“Lewis is a player we\u2019ve admired for some time. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe has shown real consistency and leadership qualities in this league, and he fits the profile of player we are looking to bring to the Club as we continue to build a competitive squad.”<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re sure his experience and professionalism with be a great asset to the Club both on and off the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
