Chris Cadden, born on 19 September 1996 (age 30), is a Scotland international primarily used at right back for Aberdeen. His senior career began to take proper shape at Motherwell, where he established himself as a durable wide player rather than a passing prospect.
His most productive league season came in 2016β17, when he scored three goals in 36 appearances for Motherwell. That was the spell which gave him the platform: regular football, enough attacking output to be noticed, and the kind of workload that tends to harden a player up quickly.
By 2026β27, Cadden is with Aberdeen. He has made 11 league appearances and two League Cup appearances for the club this season, taking him to 13 appearances in all competitions. It is a solid, practical career arc: from making his name at Motherwell to remaining a first-team player in the Scottish top flight.
