Aberdeen striker Alfie Bavidge has joined League One side Kelty Hearts on loan until January.
The 17-year-old will go straight into the Kelty squad for today’s game against Falkirk.
Bavidge, who has been with the Dons since the age of eight, made his first-team debut for the Dons in a 3-1 win against Motherwell in February.
He has made five appearances for the first team and was part of the squad which travelled to the Dons’ Europa Conference League match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
In May, Bavidge committed his future to the Dons by signing a contract extension until 2026.

Aberdeen manager Barry Robson said: “Alfie is a young player who has a big future at Aberdeen.
“I worked with him during his first year as a full time professional and he’s benefitted from training with the first team on a regular basis.
“This loan will allow Alfie to get important game time and the opportunity to play regularly will help his development significantly as he works towards our first team.”
