Aberdeen loan Middlesbrough's Hayden Coulson & sign Callum Roberts from Notts County
- Published
Roberts was a goal threat from midfield for Notts County last season
Aberdeen have taken Middlesbrough left-back Hayden Coulson on a season-long loan after adding attacking midfielder Callum Roberts from Notts County for an undisclosed fee.
Coulson, 24, has played 49 games for Middlesbrough and spent last season at Ipswich Town and Peterborough.
He had a short loan stint at St Mirren in 2018 and is "athletic and attack-minded", says boss Jim Goodwin.
Roberts, a former England Under-20 player, has signed a three-year deal.
The 25-year-old, who came through Newcastle United's youth system, scored on his debut for his hometown club against Blackburn Rovers in 2019.
"Callum is technically a very good player. He scored 16 goals last season for Notts County which is an impressive return," said Goodwin.
"Jayden Richardson obviously knows him very well as they both played on the right-hand side for Notts County and were very successful together."
Roberts had loan spells at Gateshead, Kilmarnock and Colchester United before making his mark with Blyth Spartans by scoring 17 goals in 25 games in 2019-20.
He signed for Notts County in January 2020 and helped them reach the play-offs before excelling last season.
The arrivals of Roberts and Coulson take Goodwin's signing haul this summer to nine.
