Aberdeen have signed Graeme Shinnie on a permanent three-year-deal from Wigan Athletic.
The 31-year-old midfielder spent the second half of last season on loan at Pittodrie and helped the club finish third in the Scottish Premiership, securing European football.
Shinnie, who first played for the Dons in 2015, will remain captain for the new campaign and is the club's fourth summer signing.
"My full focus was always on returning here," he said. "It's a club I love. I feel like I am back home again.
"I'm looking forward to the season ahead. It's going to be tough but we're building a squad now that is going to be ready for what lies ahead and being able to play in the group stages of a European competition is something I've always wanted so there are exciting times ahead.
"I think the bond I've got here with the fans is amazing and I can't wait to get back on the pitch at Pittodrie again and have them cheering us on but it's important we get ready in pre-season and come together again as a club and perform as well as we can next season."
