Hibs are expected to hold talks with former Motherwell player Tom Hateley.
Head Coach Neil Lennon is hoping to add the versatile midfielder / defender to his squad.
Last week he added Andrew Shinnie on loan from Birmingham City and Brian Graham from Ross County.
Hateley is a free agent after this summer turning down a new deal at Polish side Slask Wroclaw.
He moved to Poland in January 2014 following a spell with Tranmere Rovers.
His father Mark played for many clubs including AC Milan, Rangers and AS Monaco whilst grandfather Tony played for Chelsea, Aston Villa and Liverpool.
Paul Hartley is also reported to be interested in the 26-year-old.
It is understood that a number of fringe players are expected to leave the Easter Road after being told that they are free to find other clubs.
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.
