Dominic Ball will be offered a permanent deal at Aberdeen this summer, manager Derek McInnes has confirmed.
What’s the story?
Well, as reported by The Daily Record, Ball has spent the last 18 months on loan from Rotherham, but his contract with the Millers expires this summer.
This means the versatile defender will be a free agent, putting him well within the Dons’ price range for summer signings.
And McInnes has clearly been impressed by the 23 year-old, openly speaking about his desire to pen him to a permanent deal.
“Dom loves it here and really enjoys it. There is a good chance we might get something done on that front,” McInnes said.

Perfect signing
Ball would hardly be a marquee signing for the Dons, but he would be a very smart addition as the club look to close the gap on the big two next season.
The 23 year-old came through Tottenham’s youth academy before spending time on loan with Cambridge and Rangers, eventually making a permanent switch to Rotherham in 2016.
He has performed at multiple youth levels in both the England and Northern Ireland international set-ups, and has filled in very impressively for Shay Logan while the right-back has been out with an ankle injury.
Ball has racked up 31 appearances in all competitions this season, finding the net twice, and his ability to cover multiple positions in McInnes’ squad makes life so much easier for the boss.
Getting a player with this versatility without spending a penny is just the cherry on top – this would be a perfect way to kick start the Dons’ summer business.
