Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward joins Aberdeen on loan

Aberdeen announce the signing of goalkeeper Danny Ward on a season-long loan from Liverpool.

Aberdeen have announced that they have signed Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward on a season-long loan.

The 22-year-old, who signed a new contract with the Reds earlier this week, trained with the Scottish Premiership side for the first time today, and will be included in their squad for the pre-season friendly with St Johnstone on Sunday.

Manager Derek McInnes told the club's website: "I am delighted to get Danny on board. He is a young goalkeeper we have been aware of for some time. We are thankful to Liverpool and Brendan [Rodgers] in particular for allowing this to happen.

"He is someone who is highly regarded at his club and they see the importance of getting him out on loan. Danny now has the task and challenge of playing football at a good level with us.

"We have real competition for places in all areas of the team, and we certainly now have that in the goalkeeping position. We believe Danny is going to have a good career as he goes forward and we are looking forward to the opportunity of working with him as part of his development."

Ward had a brief loan spell with League Two side Morecambe last season, featuring in five games.
