Welcome Scott McDonald

25th July 2017

Dundee United announced on Tuesday the signing of attacker Scott McDonald on an initial one-year deal. The 33-year-old Australian left Motherwell, where he made almost 200 appearances in two spells, in the summer. He has also spent three years at both Celtic and Middlesbrough and two years at Millwall in his career. Scott has 26 international caps for Australia. Scott said, "I am delighted to sign for United. I want to help this Club secure promotion into the Premiership. After I came up and looked around St Andrews and spoke to the Manager, it was an easy decision. "I had options in the Ladbrokes Premiership and down south, but I believe that I can achieve success here. Being successful and enjoying my football is important to me and that means winning the Ladbrokes Championship this season is the aim." Manager Ray McKinnon said, "This is a great signing for us. Scott is an experienced player who has played at the top level. His ability will enhance the team and his personality will impact in the dressing room also. "He adds to our attacking options and the desire he showed to come to United ahead of other options tells me everything about his character. He is a winner and wants to help us win the title this season”.
