Dimitar Mitov was born on 22 January 1997 in Bulgaria, and currently graces the pitch as an able goalkeeper for Aberdeen. Sporting the number 1 jersey, his solid presence in the goal can be attributed to his commanding stature of 1.88m (6ft 2in) and weight of 76kg (11st 13lb). In addition to his club commitments, Mitov has also pulled on the goalkeeper's jersey for the Bulgarian national team.
The net-minder's current market value is around £680k, as per Transfermarkt. His spell with Aberdeen, for now, is set to end on 30 June 2027, with 2 years and 3 months still left on his contract.
Mitov commenced his professional journey in England, signing for Charlton Athletic in League One in August 2014. A brief loan spell saw him shipped to Canvey Island in the Lower Leagues of the country in February 2015, before he returned to Charlton Athletic upon the completion of his loan term in June 2015.
Two years later, in July 2017, Mitov signed the dotted line for Cambridge United, also in League One. During his debut 2022 - 2023 season at the club, Mitov clocked up 23 first team appearances.
Then, the goalie's trajectory pointed northwards, and Mitov ventured into Scottish football, joining St Johnstone in July 2023 for their Premiership campaign where he made 38 appearances in the league during the 2023 - 2024 season.
Mitov's journey within Scottish football continued as he transferred to Aberdeen in the Premiership in July 2024, for an undisclosed fee. He has since defended the posts in 19 league matches for his current club during the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season, making a mark with his performances.
Mitov has also had his share of cup action, having played in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Aberdeen with six starts, the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Aberdeen with one start, and the Nations League 2024 - 2025 for Bulgaria with seven starts.
