Barnsley FC transfer latest: Reds sign former Rotherham United loanee and international from Premier League club
The Jamaican international, who can operate on either flank, made his Premier League debut in November 2022 against Arsenal.
He has also featured for Wolves in the EFL Cup and FA Cup.
Lembikisa, 21, made 27 appearances during a loan spell at Rotherham United last term before embarking on a separate loan stint north of the border with Hearts.
He added another 18 outings to his growing collection of senior appearances and found the net twice – including a goal on his debut to help the side to a 3-2 win over Dundee.
Lembikisa was due to spend the 2024-25 campaign in Switzerland after completing a season-long loan move to Yverdon Sport. He headed back to Wolves early after making just four appearances.
Former Barnsley, Hull City and Rotherham United defender back in EFL after late move on deadline day
The well-travelled centre-back made his first move away from England in 2023, sealing a switch from Swindon Town to Aberdeen.
After 50 appearances north of the border, his departure from Pittodrie was announced in the final hours of transfer deadline day.
It was claimed he had left to pursue “opportunities elsewhere” and he was later unveiled by League One outfit Exeter
City.
Grecians boss Gary Caldwell said: “Angus we know through Nicho [Kevin Nicholson, assistant manager] and we felt that we need an experienced figure in defence at the moment to get us organised, to stop us conceding far too many goals.
“Experience is a vital part of any defence and he will be a massive part of what we do from now until the end of the season.
“The short-term nature of it allows him to see us, us to see him, and then in the summer we can see what happens from there.”
A familiar face in Yorkshire, MacDonald first moved to the county in 2016 to link up with Barnsley. He made 54 appearances for the Reds, helping the club consolidate in the Championship.
Spells with Hull and Rotherham followed, before the 32-year-old joined Swindon in 2022.
Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin said: “Angus is at the point in his career where he needs to play regularly and at this moment in time his opportunities here are limited.
“His contributions, both on and off the pitch, during his time at Aberdeen have been significant, and he was a proud supporter and ambassador for AFC Community Trust where he became a role model for many youngsters who work with the Trust.
“We would like to wish Angus the best of luck with his future career and thank him for his effort and professionalism during his time here.”
