Hibs youngster Malik Zaid has joined Annan Athletic on loan for the duration of 2024/25 season. 

This will be the 19-year-old’s second loan spell away from Hibs after a successful six-months at Edinburgh City last season.  
  
During his time at Meadowbank, Zaid made 19 appearances and contributed to four goals in League One. 
  
Zaid will now join up with Wullie Gibson’s Annan side as they prepare for their William Hill League 1 campaign. 
  
Hibernian FC Sporting Director Malky Mackay commented: “This is a great opportunity for Malik to continue playing senior games at a really competitive level. 
  
“He performed well at Edinburgh City last season and hopefully further exposure in League 1 will aid his development. We look forward to seeing how he progresses.”
