Aberdeen FC midfielder Connor Ronan is determined to add goals to his game after a bright start to life at Pittodrie under Stephen Robinson. The 28-year-old has already delivered four assists in his first four Premier Sports Cup matches and is eager to open his Premiership account in the season opener against Heart of Midlothian.
What has Ronan delivered so far?
Ronan has quickly become a creative force for Aberdeen FC, contributing four assists in as many games since his summer return from Colorado Rapids. His influence in the final third has been clear, but the playmaker now wants to convert his chances into goals, especially with the Dons finishing 8th in the Premiership last season with 33 points from 33 games (9W-6D-18L).
Why does he want to score more?
The Republic of Ireland international admits he enjoys being higher up the pitch, where he can test keepers and affect the game directly. Ronan told reporters: “It’s nice to be close to the goal. I’ve created chances and got a few shots off. I’m hoping one goes in pretty soon.” His confidence is high, and he’s saving his best for the Premiership curtain-raiser.
What’s next for Ronan and Aberdeen FC?
Ronan’s immediate focus is helping Aberdeen FC hit the ground running in the new campaign. While international recognition with the Republic of Ireland remains a long-term ambition, he’s prioritising his club form. He added: “It’s important to focus on club football. If you do well here, everything else follows.” Aberdeen FC, who conceded 48 goals last season, will rely on Ronan’s creativity and newfound hunger for goals to climb the table.
