Aberdeen striker Lee Miller has ended speculation about his future by finally putting pen to paper on a new two-year contract at Pittodrie.Miller accepted the club's offer after several weeks of deliberating over his future.

He would have become a free agent this summer, but the 24-year-old - who will turn 25 on Sunday - opted to pursue his career with the Dons.

Miller said: "I'm really happy to be staying with Aberdeen for two years as I am very settled here and I am really enjoying playing football with this side at the moment.

"It has taken me a bit of time to come to this decision as I had to weigh up my other options in different places but the decision has been made and I am an Aberdeen player for the foreseeable future."

Jimmy Calderwood recently failed in an effort to persuade midfielder Barry Nicholson to stay with Aberdeen and had feared Miller would also try his luck elsewhere.

Calderwood told Aberdeen's official website: "I think with Lee signing this is probably one of the most important things for Aberdeen this summer as we have a huge rebuilding project and Lee is a huge factor in this.

"Lee has been absolutely tremendous for us this season and I really think it may be hard for us to keep on to him after the two years are up, possibly hard for us to keep on to him for the entire two years."
