Rhys Williams has been recalled from his Aberdeen loan spell by his parent club, Liverpool.
The 22-year-old centre-back arrived at Pittodrie back in June but has been unable to break into the Dons’ starting eleven since.
A Pittodrie club statement read: "We thank Rhys for all his efforts and wish him the very best in his future career.
"We would also like to acknowledge Liverpool for their co-operation and professionalism throughout."
Meanwhile, Barry Robson believes that Aberdeen looked like a “proper team” again in their 3-0 Premiership win over Ross County.
Jamie McGrath’s first-half double was added to by Bojan Miovski late in the day, with the Dons in control for the vast majority of the match in Dingwall.
Robson’s side moved up to eighth in the table, four points above second-bottom County.
He said: “The boys played well, and from start to finish we looked really at it.
“We looked like a proper team, and I was really pleased for the players because it has been a long first half of the season being on our travels.
“It has worked for us at times when we’ve changed shape during games. I don’t know if people have seen, but we’ve tried to do that within games, so we started with it and it seemed to work.
“We thought that system might work against Ross County today, and it did. When we’ve been at our best, no matter what system we’ve played, it has been when we’ve pressed well and moved the ball quickly, and I think that’s what we did today.”
