Joe Lewis considers retirement after Aberdeen FC exit but veteran keeper tells club 'I won't be a stranger'

Joe Lewis is considering hanging up his gloves after he terminated his Aberdeen contract.

The club captain ripped up the last year of his deal after the Dons agreed to bring in Ross Doohan to fight it out with Kelle Roos for the No.1 spot. Lewis had spent seven seasons at Pittodrie but is now set to return south and decide his next move – either in football or outwith. He said: “I’ve not made any firm decisions on what I’ll do next. I will assess my options and see what comes up.

“I won’t be a stranger to the north-east, that’s for sure, this has been my second home and I will visit frequently. It’s emotional to think we’ll be leaving the city because the people of Aberdeen have been so good to us. So I have to thank the fans, there has been a lot of ups and downs but the club is in fantastic hands. A big thank you for the last seven years for everyone who stuck with me through thick and thin.”
