ST JOHNSTONE striker Callum Hendry has completed a loan switch to Aberdeen.
The 23-year-old has fallen out of favour at McDiarmid Park, with Chris Kane, Guy Melamed and Stevie May all ahead of him in the pecking order.
He will now switch to Pittodrie, where Derek McInnes has offered him the promise of game time with the Dons until the end of the season.
McInnes was happy to further bolster his attacking options with the arrival of Hendry.
“I’m delighted we’ve managed to secure Callum on loan," he said. "He’s a player we feel can, not only give us a physical presence at the top of the pitch, but he is a player with great potential.
“He arrives, along with Fraser and he gives us good options in the forward areas. We’re looking forward to working with him.”
Hendry goes straight into Aberdeen's squad for the visit of Livingston tomorrow night and becomes the Dons' second deadline day signing with striker Fraser Hornby joining on-loan from Reims earlier today.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
