Hibernian FC Transfers: Hoilett and Cadden Join, Bowie Deal Advances

Hibernian Strengthens Squad with New Signings

In a move that marks a significant step in their preparation for the new season, Hibernian FC has successfully captured the services of Junior Hoilett and Nicky Cadden. Both players have joined the club on permanent deals, bringing fresh talent to the squad.

Junior Hoilett: A Dynamic Forward

Canada international Junior Hoilett has signed a one-year contract with Hibernian, following his departure from Aberdeen. Despite his recent move within the league, Hoilett's experience and skill set are expected to make an immediate impact. Hoilett made an impression during his debut with Aberdeen in a closely contested 2-2 match against Hibs.

Commenting on the signing, head coach David Gray expressed enthusiasm about Hoilett, stating, "He adds extra options and quality to the final third, alongside leadership and experience to the dressing room. We look forward to working with him." Hoilett's proven track record in football will certainly bolster Hibs' offensive capabilities.

Nicky Cadden: A Versatile Winger

Nicky Cadden, who previously played for Barnsley, has signed a three-year contract and joins his twin brother Chris at Hibernian. As the club's seventh summer signing, Cadden is highly regarded for his consistency and professionalism on the pitch. Gray commented on Cadden, saying, "He brings great quality, consistency and is a top professional, so I am delighted to bring him in." Cadden's ability to contribute both goals and assists makes him a valuable addition as Hibs looks to enhance their attacking options.

Additional Transfer News

As Hibernian continues to reshape their squad, they are reportedly close to signing Kieron Bowie from Fulham. The young forward has agreed terms and is set to join Hibs on a long-term contract. Bowie spent the last two seasons on loan at Northampton Town, showing his potential in the lower leagues.

However, the club faces challenges in their pursuit of midfielder Luke McCowan, as Dundee FC has rejected several bids from Hibs and Bolton Wanderers. McCowan’s performances, including a vital penalty goal in the Dundee derby, have drawn interest from multiple clubs, including Celtic and teams in the English Championship.

Looking Ahead

With these strategic signings and ongoing transfer aspirations, Hibernian FC aims to strengthen their squad ahead of the forthcoming season in the Scottish Premiership. The club is committed to enhancing their competitiveness within the league, and the new additions may prove crucial in their campaign.
