Aberdeen Women were put through their paces at Cormack Park on Thursday ahead of the SWPL 1 season starting next weekend.
The Dons kick off the 2022-23 campaign away to Hamilton on August 7, before hosting Rangers at Balmoral Stadium the following weekend.
Aberdeen co-managers Emma Hunter and Gavin Beith delivered the training session, which was the players’ third of the week, to what is a similar squad to last season.
There are some new additions in the form of five youth players, who have made the step up from Aberdeen Ladies FC’s Under-19s National Performance League team to the Dons senior squad.
We sent a photographer to last night’s session – and here are the best images he captured of Aberdeen Women in training action:
