Aberdeen sign striker Curtis Main from Motherwell on two-year deal

Aberdeen have signed Curtis Main on a two-year deal.

The 26-year-old striker joins the Dons from Motherwell, having spent the last 18 months at the Lanarkshire club.

He scored 14 goals in 58 appearances for the Fir Park side.

Main told Aberdeen’s RedTV: “I’m excited by the challenge and by the different aspect of playing for Aberdeen. Obviously European football is a big draw and it’s a big club, one that I am excited to join. So now I am here I am looking forward to getting started.

“I’ve enjoyed playing in the league and I’m pleased to move on to such a good club like Aberdeen. I just hope I can bring success to the club.”

Main is a former team-mate of Dons coach Barry Robson, having played with the midfielder when the duo were at Middlesbrough.
