Hibs youngster Josh O’Connor has joined Dundalk on loan.
The 20-year-old’s loan spell will last until the end of the League of Ireland Premier Division season, seeing him return to Hibs on 1 January, 2025.
This is the youngster’s second move away from the Club having spent last season on loan with Airdrieonians. He went on to make 33 appearances for them in all competitions.
He will now join up with Jon Daly’s Railwaymen for the remainder of the League of Ireland campaign.
Dundalk currently sit ninth in the Irish top-flight with 22 points from 24 games.
Hibs Sporting Director Malky Mackay commented: “This is another opportunity for Josh to gain regular experience of playing men’s football.
“Playing in a different league and country will be a new experience for him, and one I’m sure he will relish. We wish him all the best for the next six months.”
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.
