New Aberdeen keeper Jay Gorter has revealed he's been assured he will be the Dons' No.1 after joining on loan from Ajax.
The struggling Pittodrie side secured the promising Dutch keeper on loan this week, but he was unavailable to make his debut in their midweek defeat to St Mirren. Veteran shot stopper and former Aberdeen captain Joe Lewis has been in goals after Kelle Roos suffered a thigh injury that is expected to keep him out for ten weeks.
And 22-year-old Gorter admits he was desperate to join Aberdeen to get game time. Speaking on a Dutch podcast, Gorter said: "Yes, I got that promise that I would be first choice. Of course, I went to Aberdeen for playing minutes. That is important for me for this loan period. I did my research and had discussions with the management. Everyone knows that the Scottish league used to be known for kick and rush.
