Aberdeen have signed goalkeeper Per Kristian Bratveit on an 18-month contract after the Norway international’s deal with Stromsgodset expired last month.<\/b><\/p>\n
Bratveit will provide backup to number one Dimitar Mitov after Nick Suman picked up a serious ankle injury in training.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old came through the academy at hometown club Haugesund, making his first-team debut aged 18 in 2014 and playing over 100 times.<\/p>\n
He signed for Swedish club Djurgardens in 2019 and subsequently won his solitary Norway cap in 2020.<\/p>\n
Bratveit had loan spells with FC Groningen and Nimes in France, before permanent stints with Valerenga, Aarhus, Odds BK and Stromsgodset.<\/p>\n
“When we learned the extent of Nick’s injury, we moved quickly to sign Per Kristian, whose contract with Stromsgodset had come to an end last month,” sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel said.<\/p>\n
“He is an experienced goalkeeper, having played extensively across several strong leagues and clubs, and he also has senior international experience with Norway.<\/p>\n
“He will provide real competition within the goalkeeping department as we continue to strengthen the squad.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
