Hibs striker Dylan Vente has joined Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle on loan for the rest of the 2024/25 campaign.
The 25-year-old joined Hibs in the summer of 2023 and has gone on to make 43 appearances, scoring 11 goals.
Three of those goals came during the current campaign as he bagged a hat-trick against Elgin City in the Premier Sports Cup.
PEC Zwolle achieved promotion to the Eredivisie during the 2022/23 campaign, backing that up with an impressive mid-table in the Dutch top-flight last season.
Hibs Head Coach David Gray said: “Dylan is a player that I’ve really enjoyed working with every day because of his professionalism and desire to get better.
“He has undoubted quality, but at this moment in time, it just hasn’t quite worked out for Dylan.
“His move provides an opportunity to go home and hopefully start playing regularly with a smile on his face again. I wish him all the best for the rest of the season.”
Hibs Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “There’s been a lot of interest in Dylan over the summer and after serious consideration from all parties, we believe this is the right move for him at this time.
“The Eredivisie is recognised as one of the top leagues in the world, and this gives Dylan a chance to concentrate on his game and remind people what he’s capable of.
“Everyone at the Club will be keeping a keen eye on Dylan, and wish him all the best for his loan with PEC Zwolle.”
