Chris Cadden, born on 19 September 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish right-back with Aberdeen. His early loan football gave him senior grounding before he became a more regular top-flight player, the sort of development route that tends to strip away a few academy habits fairly quickly.
His clearest early marker came at Motherwell. In 2016-2017 he made 36 league appearances and scored three goals, his most productive league season. That campaign showed the basic shape of his game: reliable running power, width from the right, and enough end product to matter without pretending he was something he was not.
At Aberdeen in 2026-2027, Cadden has made 11 league appearances and two more in the League Cup, taking him to 13 appearances across all competitions. He is an established Scottish Premiership player rather than a headline act, with a career built on steady first-team football and a clear role on the right side.
