Dimitar Mitov, a Bulgarian national, was born on the 22nd of January 1997, which makes him a mature 27 years old. He is currently employed by Aberdeen as their first-choice goalkeeper, standing at an imposing 1.88 meters tall, which is around 6ft 2in, and weighs 76kg (11st 13lb). Mitov honours the coveted number 1 jersey and has even had the opportunity to represent his home country, Bulgaria, at international events.
The esteemed website Transfermarkt has estimated Mitov's current market value to be around €500k. This converts to approximately £400k, a respectable sum for a seasoned professional. Formalities suggest that Mitov's contract with Aberdeen is due to lapse on the 30th of June 2027, leaving another 2 years and 9 months to enjoy his services.
In a bit of a transfer tale, Mitov moved to Charlton Athletic in England's League One in August 2014. After spending some time there, Mitov was loaned to Canvey Island in the lower leagues of English football in February 2015. Following the successful completion of his loan spell, Mitov returned to Charlton Athletic in June 2015. The path of professional football often has twists and turns, and in July 2017, Mitov stepped up to Cambridge United still within the confines of League One. In his debut season of 2022 - 2023, he made a commendable 23 first-team appearances in league matches.
Mitov's journey then led him north of the border to Scotland; specifically, to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership around July 2023. During the 2023 - 2024 season, Mitov was a constant figure in the first team, making 38 appearances in league matches. His ability between the sticks didn’t go unnoticed, and by July 2024, Mitov was on the move again, this time to Aberdeen FC, also in the Scottish Premiership. The fee for this transfer remains confidential. During the current 2024 - 2025 season, Mitov has already made ten first-team league appearances. Noteworthy to mention is his involvement in the 2024 - 2025 League Cup for Aberdeen where he made five starts, and he also featured in four starts for Bulgaria in the Nations League 2024 - 2025.
