Goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov has completed his move to Aberdeen.

The Bulgarian International arrives at Pittodrie from St Johnstone for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old becomes the Club’s third new signing of the season, agreeing a three-year contract with an option for a fourth.

“It’s an amazing feeling to be here”, said Dimitar.

“As soon as heard there was interest from Aberdeen I called my agent and said get it done.

“The Club has a huge history, there are lots of good people here, and when we played against Aberdeen I loved the atmosphere the fans created.

“I feel I did well last season, being consistent is always difficult as a goalkeeper, but I worked hard and this is another opportunity for me to improve my game and make the step up.

“I like the ideas the manager has about how he wants to go forward here, the way he wants to play and create a happy environment, connecting with the supporters to get them behind us.

“Everything he said fits me as a player, I feel like I am that type of goalkeeper and I feel I can help the team going forward.”

Although born in Bulgaria, Dimitar has spent almost all of his professional career in the United Kingdom.

He spent his earliest days at FC Chavdar Etropole before moving to the Charlton Athletic Academy.

He would have four years at the Valley before he moved to Cambridge United and established himself as the number one for the U’s, playing 165 games over six years.

A move to St Johnstone followed last summer and the stopper enjoyed an outstanding season for Saints, with his performances being rewarded with 11 awards in total, including Saints’ Player of the Year award. He also made his senior international debut for Bulgaria, starting against Iran in a friendly last September.

Dimitar has now moved to the Dons and will join the squad for the start of pre-season shortly.

“This is an important signing for us as Dimitar is a talented goalkeeper, coming into the prime of his career, and these types of players are vital to a successful squad”, manager Jimmy Thelin said.

“He is an internationalist who brings with him good knowledge of the Scottish game. He had an exceptional season last year and was amongst some of the top performers in the league.

“Dimitar is clearly a very ambitious player and we feel this will be an excellent opportunity for him as he enters the next chapter of his career.”
