Aberdeen sign goalkeepers Joe Lewis, Neil Alexander

Aberdeen sign two goalkeepers in one day as ex-Cardiff City stopper Joe Lewis and Neil Alexander, formerly of Hearts, put pen to paper on deals at Tynecastle.

Aberdeen have secured the signings of goalkeepers Joe Lewis and Neil Alexander on free transfers.

Lewis, 28, has signed a two-year deal after leaving Cardiff City, while Alexander, 38, joins on a 12-month contract following his release by Hearts.

"I've got a few friends who have played in Scotland and a friend of mine Kevin McNaughton was here," said Lewis, who won a call-up to the England squad in 2008. "He told me that it's a great club and Aberdeen is a great place and that I'd really enjoy it.

"So I had no concerns about coming up here. I'm looking forward to pre-season and getting my head down and working hard."

Alexander told the club website: "My agent was in contact with a lot of teams and Aberdeen were one of them and I am lucky that the manager had a bit of interest in me and pursued it.

"I think as a squad Aberdeen have an all-round strength, and as a team they're good going forward, solid at the back. I've always been impressed by them and was whenever I played against Aberdeen last season."

Alexander is expected to assist goalkeeping coach Gordon Marshall in a backroom capacity while competing for the number one jersey with Lewis.
