Hibs Women have confirmed the signing of midfielder Ciara Grant from Heart of Midlothian on a one-year deal.
The experienced Irish playmaker has played in Scotland since 2022 for both Hearts and Rangers, helping the Glasgow Club to their first SWPL title in the 2021/22 season.
An energetic midfielder – Grant promises to become a real fans favourite at Meadowbank next season.
On the international stage, Ciara has also racked up an impressive number of senior caps for the Republic of Ireland and was part of the squad that travelled to the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Ciara is also a qualified doctor, picking up a degree in medicine from University College Dublin in 2017.
Grant will wear the number 6 jersey for Hibernian.
On her move to the Club, Ciara said: “I am thrilled to join Hibernian and start this new chapter in my career. Hibernian has a rich history and I am eager to contribute to their success moving forward.
I can’t wait to get started and give my all for the Club and its passionate supporters.”
Grant Scott also commented on Ciara’s signing: “We are delighted to welcome Ciara to the Club.
Her experience and skill set will be a great asset to our squad. Ciara’s leadership on and off the pitch will be invaluable for the season ahead. We look forward to seeing her make an impact on the team.”
