ABERDEEN FC today signed two new players and promised there will be more to come this week.
Former Colchester and Blackpool striker Scott Vernon and trialist midfielder Yoann Folly have signed two-year deals.
Both were unveiled at the training camp at Loughbrough University.
Aberdeen FC boss McGhee revealed he is in advanced talks to secure midfielder Lee Hendrie and full-backs Grant Basey and Robbie Williams. Paul Hartley is also still on McGhee’s radar
McGhee said: “These are two good signings for us and we hope to make others before we go to Brighton.
“Things are starting to fall into place as Scott will make a big difference to how we play.
“I’ve said all along that Josh Magennis was never going to be the replacement for Lee Miller because he lacks experience.
“Scott is much more of the finished article.
“He’s a career centre-forward who has proven he can do a job at a certain level. He will do well in the SPL.”
Aberdeen FC have also secured former Plymouth and Southampton midfielder Folly.
“With Folly I believe we have found the best possible player to replace Mark Kerr,” said McGhee.
“It’s been a good day for us so far.”
