Hibs’ defender Ryan McGivern will join English League One club Port Vale – pending international clearance.
The Northern Ireland internationalist, 24, originally joined Hibs on loan from Manchester City in August 2012 before making the move permanent 12 months ago.
He made 70 appearances – scoring one goal – during his stay at Easter Road.
McGivern has previously spent time on loan at Morecambe, Leicester City, Walsall, Crystal Palace and Bristol City.
He is understood to have signed a two year deal after the Valiants negotiated his release from the remaining 12 months of his contract.
He has 21 caps for Northern Ireland, the last of which was in their goalless draw away to Cyprus in March.
