Hibs have announced that John Doolan will officially join the club as first team coach on Monday.
Liverpool-born Doolan, 42, was previously under-18s coach at Wigan Athletic and has extensive experience from spells with the Academies at both Everton and Liverpool.
Stubbs welcomed the appointment and believes Doolan will strengthen his backroom staff.
Stubbs told the Hibernian website: “I’m thrilled to be able to bring John to Hibernian – he is a quality coach with an excellent pedigree.
“I’ve known him for a long time and I completely trust his judgement. He will be able to implement fresh ideas to improve our squad and his appointment is a real coup for Hibernian.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
