Dylan Lobban extends contract with Aberdeen and joins Dunfermline on loan
Summary

Dylan Lobban signed a contract extension with Aberdeen lasting until 2029 before being loaned to Dunfermline Athletic for the remainder of the season. The 20-year-old full-back enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Dons last year but has seen limited game time under manager Stephen Robinson. Despite starting in key matches early in the campaign, Lobban has recently struggled to secure a place in the squad. The loan to Dunfermline provides him an opportunity for more playing time, with a recall option available in January.
