Chris Cadden

Cadden has made six Premiership appearances in 2026–27, all starts, and two League Cup appearances; he has zero goals and two yellow cards – being a starter in every league outing signals a selection role focused on defensive duties rather than attacking returns.

Cadden averages a 6.67 rating in 2026–27 with a high of 7.4 and a low of 5.9 – a 1.5-point spread that indicates moderate variation but relative consistency across his six Premiership starts.

Cadden is 29, is Scottish and plays as a right back; his career runs through Motherwell, a move to Columbus Crew in July 2019, loan periods at Oxford United in July 2019 and January 2020, a return to Scotland with Hibernian in January 2021 and a fee transfer to Aberdeen in July 2026 – the sequence shows overseas experience and loan interludes before a return to domestic club football.

The transfer record includes an undisclosed move from Motherwell to Columbus Crew in July 2019, two loan spells at Oxford United in July 2019 and January 2020, an undisclosed transfer to Hibernian in January 2021 and a July 2026 transfer to Aberdeen for a 200000 fee – the pattern mixes loans and paid moves and culminates in a domestic fee transfer in 2026.
