ABERDEEN have snapped up Adam Collin as replacement for Danny Ward.
As SunSport revealed yesterday, Dons boss Derek McInnes moved for the Rotherham goalkeeper after missing out on a swoop for Rangers’ stopper Cammy Bell.
Collin, 31, became a hero at the Cobblers after his two penalty shootout saves in the 2014 League One play-off final saw them promoted to the Championship.
He was signed by Steve Evans back in 2013 and played over 70 games for them. But the 6ft 5ins Cumbrian dropped out of the picture under Neil Redfearn this term and has only featured twice for them.
He will move to Pittodrie on a loan deal until the end of the season and could even be pitched in for the Dons’ clash against Ross County on Sunday.
Collin came through the ranks at Newcastle United and was a substitute for the first team but never got onto the pitch.
After spells playing at Doncaster and Workington, Collin had four years at Carlisle which included a spell of 146 games in a row.
McInnes has been on the hunt for a new goalkeeper after Liverpool’s decision to recall standout Ward left Scott Brown as the only senior goalie on the books.
