Connor Barron insists he's laser-focused on restoring Aberdeen as Scotland's third force - because he knows his future will then take care of itself.
The Dons' newest rising star bagged his first goal for the club last weekend - netting the opener in defeat against Rangers - but is now determined to take all three points and propel Aberdeen above Hibs in the Premiership table. The Pittodrie club have tabled a fresh contract offer for the highly-rated 20-year-old - his current deal expires at the end of 2024 - but all that's on his mind for the moment is helping Jim Goodwin 's side re-establish themselves at the very top end of Scottish football.
Barron, who is one of the best young talents in the Scottish game and has just signed a deal with Adidas, stated: “I am just back from injury and it has been a long time out. “I am just getting my match sharpness back up. I am just focussing on football and whatever happens from that side will happen. I am just fully focused on helping the team out and keeping my performances up. I am just new into the team in January last year. I just want to get as many games under my belt and keep my performances up. I just want to help the team and get another good run going after losing on Saturday.”
