Andrew Shinnie joins Hibs on a season-long loan deal

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.”
