SNS GroupJack Milne has signed a new four-year contract with Aberdeen.
The versatile 22-year-old defender has made 25 first-team appearances for Aberdeen and also has loan spells at Brechin and Kelty Hearts under his belt.
Manager Jimmy Thelin said: “Since our arrival at Aberdeen, Jack’s potential was evident for us to see.
“He is taking steps this year to continue his development and we believe this new contract will give him long-term stability and the ability to continue his progression in familiar surroundings, in an environment which should positively influence his future.
“Jack is determined to improve and play an important part for Aberdeen and we look forward to continuing our work alongside him.”
Milne had a full season left on his previous deal.
The Aberdonian, who can play in midfield or defence, said: “The club spoke to me and said they wanted to extend my deal. It was all done pretty quickly.
“I was not worried about it, as I still had a bit of time left on my current deal, but it is one of those things when it is done where you don’t relax, but you can put it out of your mind and focus purely on football.
“To be part of the manager’s long-term plans is a very nice feeling and gives you confidence as a player.”
