Scotland youth international Cailin Michie has signed for Hibernian Ladies from Boroughmuir Thistle.
The 17 year old told the club website: “I’m delighted to sign for Hibs I hope to work my way into the starting XI but know I will have to take my chances when they come along.
“There’s a good atmosphere at the club and the training has been at a very high intensity since I’ve come in.
“This is the right challenge for me in my development and I’m looking forward to playing at the highest level.
“I’m really grateful to Boroughmuir for their help in my development and their support in helping me reach the national academy and the Premier League.
“Hopefully I can make a real contribution for Hibs in the remainder of the season and help the club win silverware.”
Manager Chris Roberts added “I’m delighted to welcome Cailin to the club.
“She’s a player I’ve known for years and to now get the chance to work with her at Hibs is fantastic.
“Cailin has played at Boroughmuir Thistle since 2007 and huge credit must go to them for her development up until now.
“Cailin’s a very exciting talent who will fit in with our style of play; technically and tactically she’s very good and her versatility is a huge asset.”
