Scott Brown: Leaving Cheltenham to join Aberdeen
Goalkeeper Scott Brown has declined a contract at Cheltenham and will join Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen.
The 27-year-old made 287 appearances for the club and feels it is time to move on after 10 years at Whaddon Road.
“It was such a difficult decision for me to take”, said Brown.
“I couldn’t turn the opportunity down to be involved at a club like Aberdeen and to work with Derek McInnes and Jim Leighton on a full time basis.
“It’s an opportunity that rarely comes around but Cheltenham Town will always be the result I look out for first and whenever I am back I will be watching.
“I can only just thank the supporters for everything they have done for me and hopefully in the future I can come back and show them how much I have improved as a goalkeeper.
“I am a very ambitious guy and I want to push myself as much as I can and unfortunately that meant leaving. It’s not something I wanted to do but I want to push myself as much as possible and when this opportunity came along I could not turn it down.
“Maybe I can come back one day and play for Cheltenham Town again and show people how I have improved.”
