Aberdeen have signed Tottenham Hotspur defender Alfie Dorrington on loan until the end of the season.

Dorrington, 19, made his senior debut in December, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ange Postecoglou's side in their 5-0 win at Southampton.

The England Under-19 international was left on the bench during Sunday's FA Cup win against Tamworth and now heads out on loan for the first time.

"Alfie is a really exciting young prospect," Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin said.

"He has good speed, stature and good ability on the ball and his arrival will further strengthen our options at centre-back.
