Aberdeen have announced youth academy graduate goalkeeper Tom Ritchie has been sent back out on loan – this time to League Two outfit Bonnyrigg Rose for the season.
Ritchie has joined the Rosey Posey until the end of the campaign – having made his debut as an emergency loan signing on Tuesday night, making three penalty shoot-out saves to secure his new side a Premier Sports Cup bonus point against Annan Athletic.
It is the latest temporary switch for Elgin native Ritchie, who has never made a competitive appearance for Aberdeen’s first team and is contracted to Pittodrie until next summer.
He has previously spent nearly a full season on loan at Highland League Huntly, before a short stint at then-Championship Queen of the South at the start of the 2022/23 season before he moved to then-League One Peterhead until January 2023.
Ritchie spent the second half of last season back in the Highland League with Buckie Thistle, helping the Jags claim the league title.
