Nesta Guinness-Walker has joined Aberdeen on a two-year contract.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old left-back arrives at Pittodrie after an impressive spell with Northampton Town, bringing valuable experience from AFC Wimbledon, Reading and Stevenage.<\/p>\n
A product of the Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur youth systems, Nesta has earned a reputation as an attack-minded defender.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m buzzing to be here,\u201d said Nesta.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as Aberdeen showed interest, I was keen to get the deal done.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here to continue my development and, of course, help the team win games.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Club has a rich history, the fans look amazing, and after speaking to the manager, the ambition here was clear. It is something I\u2019m eager to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nesta is the ninth player to arrive at Pittodrie in the summer window and Dons boss Stephen Robinson believes he will bring the attributes required for a competitive season ahead.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cNesta brings real pace and energy down the side, and his experience will also help Emmanuel and Mitchel with their continued development.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has played extensively in the English Championship and League One and was named Northampton\u2019s Player of the Year last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will need a few weeks to get up to speed, as his season finished earlier, but our team behind the scenes will create a tailored programme to help him integrate and be ready for action as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone at Aberdeen FC welcomes Nesta to the Club and wishes him every success at Pittodrie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nesta Guinness-Walker has joined Aberdeen on a two-year contract.
