Ross County have signed defender Paul Quinn from Aberdeen less than a season after he left Dingwall.

Paperwork was completed on an 18-month contract which was agreed by all parties to see the player return to Jim McIntyre's men.

Quinn played for the Staggies last season where he netted three goals in 30 appearances but made the move east when he became a free agent in the summer.

He slotted into the Aberdeen first-team after signing a two-year deal and scored the winning goal against Celtic in September which moved them to the top of the Scottish Premiership table.

The move has been on the table for several weeks but was pushed to the back burner when the sides met each other in the league on January 17.

Aberdeen won the fixture 3-2 but Quinn did not make an appearance off the substitute's bench. He has not played since the 2-2 draw with Inverness on Boxing Day.
