The full-back arrives just 24 hours after Calvin Ramsay left for Liverpool with Goodwin moving quickly to bolster his right-back options.

On the deal, the Aberdeen boss said: “Jayden is a very young and exciting prospect.

"He is only 21-years-old and still has some room for development but we believe he has all the attributes needed to help improve our team. Hopefully, we will get the best out of him in the months and seasons ahead.

“He is very quick, dynamic, and attacking full-back who I am sure will use this as a platform to go and prove himself. I am confident he will handle the expectations of playing for a big club like Aberdeen.”

Richardson saidL He said: “The opportunity for young players to come to Scotland and make an impact is clear to see. The club itself is massive and I hope that I can play my part on its journey and really contribute to delivering success.

“Playing in front of big crowds is something all players aspire too, and I know football is a big deal in Scotland, and particularly for Aberdeen fans who are hugely passionate about their club.
