Hibernian FC Transfers: Hoilett and Cadden Join; Bowie Deal Near

Hibernian Secures Double Signing: Junior Hoilett and Nicky Cadden Join the Club

Hibernian FC has made headlines in the Scottish Premiership with the exciting acquisition of two new players: forward Junior Hoilett and winger Nicky Cadden. These signings are seen as strategic moves to bolster the club’s attacking options ahead of the new season.

Junior Hoilett's Arrival

Canada international Junior Hoilett has signed a one-year deal with Hibernian after parting ways with Aberdeen. He made his debut for the Dons in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Hibs back in February. Hibs head coach David Gray expressed enthusiasm over Hoilett’s signing, noting, "He adds extra options and quality to the final third, alongside leadership and experience to the dressing room." Hoilett's capacity to adapt to Scottish football has been praised, especially given his strong performances at Aberdeen.

Nicky Cadden Joins Forces with Twin Brother

Accompanying Hoilett’s signing is Nicky Cadden, who has signed a three-year contract at Easter Road. Cadden is excited to join his twin brother Chris Cadden at Hibs after concluding his stint at Barnsley. David Gray commented on the signing, asserting that “Nicky brings great quality, consistency and is a top professional.” In the Scottish game, Cadden's excellent delivery into the box and impactful contributions through goals and assists make him an invaluable asset.

Strategic Moves for Hibs

The Sporting Director of Hibernian, Malky Mackay, highlighted Cadden's versatility, stating, "Nicky is an extremely versatile player that will give David different options across the midfield and at left-back as well." Mackay also emphasized the importance of character in the squad, reflecting the club's commitment to not just talent but also team chemistry.

Further Developments in Hibernian's Transfer Strategy

In other transfer news, Hibernian is reportedly close to securing a deal for Fulham forward Kieron Bowie. The 21-year-old has agreed on terms for a long-term contract after being granted approval to discuss terms with Hibs. Bowie impressed during his recent loan spell at Northampton Town.

Interest in Luke McCowan

Additionally, Hibs faced a setback as Dundee rejected bids from both Hibernian and Bolton Wanderers for their captain, Luke McCowan. Despite this, both clubs remain keen on acquiring the talented midfielder, whose contract is set to expire next summer.
