Third Striker Leaves Dons

Last updated : 01 February 2010 By Stand Free Ed

YOUNG Aberdeen striker Chris Maguire has joined former boss Jimmy Calderwood at Kilmarnock.

The 22-year-old has left Pittodrie for Rugby Park on loan for the rest of the season.

Maguire joins fellow strikers Tommy Wright and Lee Miller in leaving AFC, and with only Steven MacLean coming in so far, this seems to mean the Dons are short of options up front.

Maguire, nicknamed Phil 'Bebo' McGuire, made his first-team debut for the Dons in December 2006 and has made 21 appearances this season, including scoring the Dons goal of the season against Hamilton - a stunning angled volley from just inside the box.

Calderwood, who this month took over at Killie after the departure of Jim Jefferies, was keen to bolster his squad after injuries to several key players for up to six weeks.
