Career to date

Ross joined Aberdeen at the age of 10 and rose up through their academy.

He was a regular for the Dons at various youth levels before making the step up into their first-team.

They handed him his senior debut in January 2019 in a cup game against Stenhousemuir and he went on to make a further 13 appearances for them in all competitions.

Ross was also loaned out to Dunfermline Athletic and Raith over recent years and the latter have now brought him back.

No England move

Sunderland and Blackburn were linked but any potential move to the Football League has been ruled out now.

Ross will be eager to get some game time under his belt in the Scottish Championship and get back to the top flight as soon as he can.
