Another Hibs youngster has left the club on loan to gain experience.
Freddie Owens has joined Civil Service Strollers on loan for the duration of the 2024/25 campaign.
This is the 18-year-old’s third spell with Civil Service Strollers having previously spent two emergency loan periods with the Club last season.
Managed by Alex Cunningham, Civil Service Strollers compete in the Lowland League. Last season they finished seventh with 56 points from 34 games, one place behind Celtic B.
On the loan, Hibernian FC Sporting Director Malky Mackay commented: “This is a good opportunity for Freddie to gain regular senior game-time, alongside training with our excellent staff at HTC. We wish Freddie all the best for the upcoming season.”
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.
