Aberdeen sign Leighton Clarkson on loan from Liverpool

Aberdeen have signed midfielder Leighton Clarkson on a season-long loan from Liverpool.

Clarkson spent time on loan at hometown club Blackburn Rovers last term, making seven appearances in the Championship.

"He's brave in possession and at the right times is willing to try the difficult pass which some don't always have the ability or courage to attempt," said Dons boss Jim Goodwin.

"That is something we will continue to encourage."

Clarkson has played once in each domestic cup competition for Liverpool and has Champions League experience from 90 minutes against FC Midtjylland in December 2020.
