Aberdeen have completed the signing of Watford defender Tommie Hoban on a season-long loan.
The 24-year-old, who was born in London but qualifies for the Republic of Ireland, will go straight into contention for Thursday’s Europa League second qualifying round first-leg match against Burnley at Pittodrie pending receipt of his international clearance.
Hoban was given his Watford debut as a 16-year-old by Malky Mackay and has gone on to make 54 appearances for the Hertfordshire club.
