Why It Matters for Aberdeen FC
Aberdeen FC manager Stephen Robinson knows Cadden from his time in charge of Motherwell. Robinson believes Cadden will bring a fresh challenge and more game time to the team.
Cadden has signed a two-year contract at Pittodrie and is looking forward to being part of the team's building process. Aberdeen FC are hoping to capitalize on Cadden's experience and knowledge of the Scottish Premiership.
Aberdeen FC manager Stephen Robinson said: "Chris is a brilliant addition to our group, not only because of what he'll bring on the pitch but because of the character and professionalism he'll add to the dressing room."
Cadden also has two Scotland caps and Robinson was keen to add someone with a breadth of experience who also "understands this league inside out".
What Cadden Said
Cadden said: "Having worked with the manager before, I know the scale of his ambition and what he is looking to achieve. His passion and vision for the team were clear. It's a fresh challenge for me."
What Hibs Said
Hibs head coach David Gray paid tribute to "a brilliant servant to this club". Gray added: "The energy, consistency, professionalism and the way he has conducted himself every day has helped set the standard for new players and young lads coming through."
Gray also acknowledged that Hibs couldn't offer Cadden as much game time as he would have liked, and that at this stage of his career, Cadden wants to maximize his playing opportunities.

Cadden has signed a two-year contract at Aberdeen FC and has made 166 appearances for Hibs since joining from Columbus Crew five years ago.
