Andrew Shinnie has joined Hibs on a season-long loan deal from Birmingham City, subject to international clearance.
The 27-year-old is an attacking midfielder who joined Birmingham in 2013 from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and has previously enjoyed loan spells with Dundee in 2008/09 and 2010, as well as with Rotherham United earlier this year.
Shinnie, who has previously been capped by Scotland, says that he enjoyed playing at Easter Road in pre-season with Birmingham City and that played a factor in him deciding to join the Club.
Speaking to Hibs TV, he said: “I was here in pre-season and I took part in the game and Hibs played very well that day. The stadium was lovely, the pitch was great and I got good vibes from it.
“I played here before from my past days in Scotland. I know how big a club this is, how big the fanbase is and a lot of factors came into account.”
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.
