ABERDEEN have completed the signing of former Scotland Under-21 left back Charlie Mulgrew.

The 22-year-old has inked a two year deal at Pittodrie and becomes the Dons' fifth new signing of the summer.

Versatile Charlie was a product of the Celtic youth system, and after a successful loan spell with Dundee United was sold to English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The defender, who can also play left midfield, was thought to be going to Swindon Town but opted instead for a return to the SPL with the Reds.

Manager Jimmy Calderwood will be delighted to have finally purchased a full-back, with the tombola being hugely depleted in this area since the departures of Michael Hart in January and David Robertson in 1991.
