Chris Cadden, born on 19 September 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish right-back with Aberdeen. His early loan experience helped bridge the usual gap between promise and proper first-team football, giving him the sort of hard minutes that tend to matter more than any neat academy label.
His career gathered real substance at Motherwell. In 2016-17 he made 36 league appearances and scored three goals, his most productive league season. That campaign showed the shape of the player: reliable on the right, fit enough to be trusted regularly, and capable of offering something going forward without needing to be dressed up as anything more exotic.
At Aberdeen in 2026-27, Cadden has made seven league appearances and two in the League Cup, nine in all across competitions. His career is that of a steady Scottish first-team player, built on durability, usefulness and a clear role on the right side of the pitch.
