Aberdeen have signed Northern Ireland right-back Ryan McLaughlin on loan from Liverpool, subject to international clearance.

McLaughlin, 20, will join the Dons until January 2016.

McLaughlin, who joined Liverpool at the age of 16, spent the second half of last season on loan at Barnsley, making nine appearances.

He made his international bow off the bench against Uruguay, making him the first Liverpool player to play for Northern Ireland in 78 years. 

Dons boss Derek McInnes told the club's website: "I'm really pleased we've managed to bring Ryan to the club. He's a player who has always impressed us and will give us good options in the months ahead.
