Nick Suman Set to Join Aberdeen Amid Interest from Rangers and Other SPFL Clubs
Australian goalkeeper Nick Suman is poised to join Aberdeen FC, marking a significant move in the Scottish football transfer landscape. The 25-year-old, who garnered attention from Rangers and several other SPFL clubs, will officially become a Don when the transfer window opens next month.
Suman’s journey to Aberdeen has been noteworthy. After starting his professional career with Western Sydney Wanderers and later playing for Macarthur FC in Australia’s A-League, he made a strategic move to Europe. His performances during a trial period earned him a two-year contract with Cove Rangers, where he quickly established himself as one of League One’s standout goalkeepers. Standing at 6’4″, Suman’s commanding presence and consistent displays caught the eye of top-tier Scottish clubs.
Aberdeen’s acquisition of Suman comes as they seek a replacement for Ross Doohan, who is set to join Celtic. Suman is expected to serve as a backup to Dimitar Mitov, providing depth and competition in the goalkeeping department. His dual Australian and UK citizenship adds flexibility to the squad’s composition.
Despite previous interest from Rangers and Brighton during his teenage years, Suman’s European career only materialized recently. His decision to join Aberdeen over other interested clubs like Dundee United, Hibernian, and Motherwell underscores the Dons’ appeal and ambition.
Suman’s move is anticipated to be finalized when the transfer window reopens, adding a promising talent to Aberdeen’s roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
