"I know I was only in the north east for a short period, but the fans made me feel welcome from day one, so my thanks must also go to them for showing me so much support.
"Aberdeen is a huge club and I know there is a real determination from all to deliver success both on and off the pitch. I wish them all the best for the remainder of the season."
