Elvis Bwomono joins Aberdeen on a short-term deal after a successful trial, addressing the club's defensive injury crisis. The versatile full-back/center-back, previously with St Mirren, brings experience from his 43 appearances last season. Manager Stephen Robinson praised his adaptability, noting he can play in a back three, full-back roles, or even midfield. Bwomono hasn't featured since leaving Icelandic side IBV in January but impressed in Aberdeen's recent 2-1 victory over Dundee.

Sivert Heltne Nilsen departs for Norwegian club FK Haugesund, ending his two-season stint at Pittodrie. The 34-year-old midfielder, a key figure in Aberdeen's Scottish Cup-winning campaign, cited family ties and a desire to pursue coaching as reasons for his exit. Nilsen, who helped the Dons achieve a record-breaking league start in 2023-24, played 23 times this season but struggled with limited opportunities under new management.

Aberdeen's relegation fight intensifies as four defenders remain sidelined, including Knoester, Tobers, McIntyre, and Devlin. Robinson's tactical flexibility with Bwomono aims to stabilize the backline, though the club's form remains inconsistent. Nilsen expressed gratitude for his time in Scotland, highlighting the emotional significance of last season's cup triumph. Both transfers reflect the club's efforts to navigate a turbulent campaign while rebuilding for future seasons.
