Hibernian FC Welcomes New Signings: Junior Hoilett and Nicky Cadden

In an exciting move for their 2023 season, Hibernian FC has made a double signing, bringing in forward Junior Hoilett and winger Nicky Cadden on permanent deals. This represents a significant boost to Hibs' squad as they look to make advancements in the Scottish Premiership.

Junior Hoilett: A Seasoned Addition

Canadian international Junior Hoilett has penned a one-year contract with Hibernian following his departure from Aberdeen. Hoilett, who made his Dons debut in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Hibs earlier this year, is expected to add depth and quality to the club's attacking options. Head coach David Gray expressed his enthusiasm for the veteran forward, noting his adaptability and experience in Scottish football. Gray stated, "He has played at a very high level and adapted well to Scottish football last season, adding extra options and quality to the final third. We look forward to working with him."

Nicky Cadden: The Flying Winger Joins the Family

Nicky Cadden has also joined Hibernian on a three-year contract, reuniting him with his twin brother Chris at Easter Road. Cadden, who previously played for Barnsley, brings considerable experience and versatility to the squad. Gray shared his admiration for Cadden, saying, "He brings great quality, consistency and is a top professional. I'm delighted to have him on board." Cadden's ability to deliver precise crosses and contribute both goals and assists will be invaluable as Hibs aims for a successful season.

Close on New Signing: Kieron Bowie

Hibernian FC is also on the verge of securing Fulham's forward Kieron Bowie. The 21-year-old has reportedly agreed to terms for a long-term contract after being granted permission to speak with Hibernian. Bowie, who recently spent two seasons on loan at Northampton Town, adds further depth to Hibs' attacking arsenal.

Ongoing Transfer Talks: Luke McCowan

In transfer news, Dundee has rejected bids from Hibernian and Bolton Wanderers for midfielder Luke McCowan. The rejection underscores the growing interest in McCowan, who recently helped Dundee secure a point in the latest derby by scoring a penalty. With just a year left on his contract, McCowan's future remains a point of interest for several clubs, including Celtic.
