JUNIOR HOILETT admitted he couldn't say no to Neil Warnock and as soon as he called he was on the first flight to Aberdeen.
The 33-year-old winger, who had been training at Reading, has agreed to sign up for Warnock again for a third time, after previous spells together at QPR and Cardiff City.
Hoilett has agreed a deal for the rest of the season after leaving Vancouver Whitecaps last month.
He said: "I have worked for him for years. When the gaffer calls, you can't say no.
"I am happy to get back playing football under a manager who knows how to get the best out of the squad and everyone working together.
"He asked if I was interested and I said of course' and got on the next plane.
"When you play under a manager who gives you confidence and wants you in his team then you give him that extra mile.
