Mcinnes keen on bringing Mcginn back to Pittodrie
De re kMc Inn es wants to help NiallMcG inn relaunch his career with a loan spell back at Aberdeen now that the winger’s move to South Korea has turned sour.
The Dons manager’s best efforts failed to prevent the player leaving Pit todrie under freedom of contract last July but he’s well aware that lucrative move to Gwangju F Cha sn’ t gone well.
Mc Inn es has kept in contact with Mcginn during those troubled times as the former Celtic player has failed to score a single goal in just seven appear ances for a team already relegated from the K League Classic.
They are five points adrift at the foot of the table with just tomorrow’ s final game of the season still to play and dropping down a division is likely to leave Gwangju looking to offload McG inn before the new campaign starts in March.
Hearts have already expressed an interest in bringing the experienced Northern Ireland international back to Scotland but Mcinnes is hoping he will choose to return to Aberdeen instead.
He said:“We were always aware that Ni all’ s league finished up in November and I have kept in touch with him. Whether it’ s a possibility remains to be seen but he’s a good player, someone who was very good for us in the past.
“I don’t think it has been the most enjoyable stint for him over there so far but, if we got any encouragement that he could be available for loan, then it’s something we would look at.
“If he has the enthusiasm to do it and it could happen then it’s something we would enjoy and I’m sure our supporters would love it too. We enjoyed working with Niall, he is very well thought of here and rightly so because of his high level of performances.”
