Aberdeen sign winger Smith from Livingston

Aberdeen FC have announced the signing of winger Lewis Smith from Livingston for an undisclosed transfer fee. Smith made 81 appearances for Livingston, scoring 12 goals and providing 12 assists, with seven of those goals coming last season.

Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson revealed that he had admired Smith for a long time and had attempted to sign him at previous clubs but could not afford him. Robinson noted that Smith's performance data placed him among the best wide players in the Scottish Premiership last season.

Smith, who started his career at Hamilton Academical and made his debut at Pittodrie, expressed excitement about joining Aberdeen, stating he has "a lot more to give."

Livingston sporting director David Martindale said the sale proves their player trading model works. He added that the club will soon announce Smith's replacement, who was identified early in anticipation of his departure.

On the same day, Aberdeen sold striker Marko Lazetic to Armenian Premier League runners-up Noah for an undisclosed fee.
