Announcement of Overseas signings for 2019 season.

We are delighted to announce our overseas signings for the 2019 season.

Solo Nqweni will join us as our Overseas Professional.
Solo is a South African seam bowling Allrounder who bats in the middle order.
Solo is currently captain of Eastern Province in the CSA 3-Day Provincial Cup and comes highly recommended.

Speaking to Solo earlier he had this to say ahead of joining up with us in April:
"I’m definitely excited for the Scottish summer and season ahead as it will be my first time playing as a pro in the UK and I’m just really hungry to make an impact and lasting impression on the club. I’ve heard things about the club and the people of Aberdeenshire from my team mate Lesiba Ngoepe so already in my mind I know it’s a great privilege to be able to play there this upcoming summer."

Callum Mackaness returns to the Dons for a second season as Overseas Amateur from his home club of Wainuiomata Cricket Club. Callum enjoyed a successful all round season with the Dons in 2018, scoring 345 runs including a high score of 115 and taking 18 wickets with a best of 5-28.

Here is what Callum had to say ahead of returning to Aberdeen for the 2019 season with the Dons:
"I excited to come back to the club and look forward to getting amongst the boys and back out on the pitch"
