Dons manager Thelin stated: “Mats has been a fantastic addition to our group, both on and off the pitch, since his arrival at the beginning of the year.

“Securing his services for the next four years is an important step for us as we work to develop a competitive team that can compete on all fronts next season. “We’re pleased that Mats sees his long-term future here at Aberdeen.”
