Derby County defender Max Lowe may have played a small role in Craig Bryson’s move to Aberdeen, Herald Scotland report.
Bryson departed Derby this summer to move back to Scotland with Aberdeen after eight years at Pride Park.
The Scotland international joined the Rams in 2011 from Kilmarnock and became a popular figure at the club. However, with his contract due for expiration this summer, Bryson has opted to move on.
His choice to join Aberdeen was backed up by Derby’s Max Lowe. The young left-back spent the best part of last season on loan at Pittodrie, and Bryson suggests he enjoyed his time at the club.
I spoke to Max when he was coming to Aberdeen and told him to go up to Scotland at a big club and if you play well then you never know what is going to happen. When I was coming, I just asked him about the boys and the manager and what it was like being up there. Max can’t speak highly enough of Aberdeen.
