Tommy Block departs Easter Road to pursue first-team football

Hibs Development Squad midfielder Tommy Block has reached an agreement with the club to depart Easter Road.

The 20-year-old former Brighton and Hove Albion trainee is keen to pursue regular first-team football and leaves with a year of his contract remaining and the best wishes of everyone at Hibernian

Neil Lennon signed Block in January 2019 from Bognor Regis after a trial stint and he was immediately named as a substitute for the  4-0 Scottish Cup victory over Elgin City but was not used.

He also played for Havant & Waterlooville and Chichester City as a teenager and enjoyed a successful loan spell with Queen’s Park last season.

A statement on the club’s website read: “He applied himself with total commitment on and off the park, featuring in our specially arranged Development Squad games programme, and will always be welcome back in Edinburgh.”
