DONS PAIR MOVING ON

 

The Dons have confirmed that defender Jonathan Crawford (20) and midfielder Nicky Clark (19) will not be offered new contracts when their current deals expire at the end of next month.

 

Along with keeper John Bateman, the pair have spent much of the current season on loan at Peterhead while Jonathan made his Aberdeen first team debut in the 3-0 SPL win at Hamilton last August.

 

Everyone at the Club wishes Jonathan and Nicky all the very best for the future.

 

I thought they were both ones to keep an eye on

They'll be at Peterhead by August.

They're both already there 

Crawford seemed to fall out of contention pretty spectacularly after the Dundee capitulation in the League Cup.

Yeah, don't think either have done well on loan at Peterhead either so was not a surprise.

Nicky Clark just received the Peterhead Young Player of the Year award at the weekend - has done quite well whenever I seen him, although he had a nightmare against Brechin away when McGhee and Robertson was there watching.

Did not know that, surely McGhee wouldn't have made decision based on that one game but had heard they weren't doing well. What about Bateman? I heard he's being released as well?

I thought that with a bit of decent coaching Crawford would have been an OK backup player. Shame.

Nicky Clark just didn't make the cut.

 

He did show it in streaks though.

 

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

How long you been dye-ing to say that ST?

To be fair, he was not given a chance of being on the fringe of the first team.

Because he's worth it?

 

Apparently not.

he was on the fringe of the first team

I heard he was utter (sham)poo when he was out on loan.

With his skill I thought he would be head and shoulders above the rest of the squad

Ach they were both out of condition (er). You have to stay Trim in this game.  I am sure if they got a good coach like Alan Combe they would do well.
