Overview
- Aberdeen completed the multi‑year signing of 26‑year‑old Lewis Smith from Livingston on Monday with the club announcing a three‑year deal while the fee remains officially undisclosed.
- Some outlets reported a £300,000 fee but Aberdeen and Livingston list the transfer sum as undisclosed, illustrating differing media figures on the valuation.
- Smith made 40 appearances last season and scored seven league goals as part of 81 total appearances and 12 goals for Livingston, and Aberdeen expect his direct, attack‑minded style to add pace and finishing to their wide play.
- Livingston’s sporting director David Martindale said the sale validates the club’s player‑trading model and that a replacement will be named once it receives governing‑body endorsement.
- The signing arrives as part of a wider rebuild at Pittodrie with Smith expected to be available for Aberdeen’s Premier Sports Cup trip to Brora and the club continuing to manage outgoings and captaincy decisions.
