Former Hibs’ star Derek Riordan is expected to play for York City against Guisborough Town in a North Riding Senior Cup tie tomorrow.
If he impresses in that game, he could be offered a short term deal until the end of the season.
Riordan has been training with Hibs to keep himself fit after leaving East Fife last season sparking speculation that he may be awarded a contract by his boyhood favourites however Alan Stubbs told fans recently that this would not happen.
The Scottish international was a fans’ favourite at Easter Road having scored 104 goals in 260 games during two spells at the club.
York City are managed by former Dundee United boss Jackie McNamara who is an ex-team mate of Alan Stubbs.
The team are currently bottom of League Two and in danger of slipping into non-league football.
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.
