Former Hibs Scottish Cup winning midfielder Dylan McGeouch has signed for Ballymena United on a short-term deal.
The thirty-two year old Scottish international played 121 times for Hibs after joining on loan from Celtic making his debut in a 3-2 victory over Cowdenbeath in September 2014.
He scored four goals. His final game was the famous 5-5 draw with Rangers in the final game of the 2017/18 season.
He joined Sunderland then subsequently played for Aberdeen and Forest Green Rovers.
Most recently he was with Mark Hughes’ Carlisle United, but left in the summer and now joins United as a free agent.
Speaking to the club website McGeouch said: “The opportunity came up to talk to the guys behind the scenes here and I jumped at the chance to be able to come and help this squad and club going forward.”
“Experience is something hopefully I can bring on and off the pitch. I’ve been at a lot of good clubs and still think I have a lot to give.”
He added, “One of the selling points was that the club have a lot to play for. We’re looking to compete and get into that top six, along with the cup competitions and it’s exciting times.”
Manager Jim Ervin added: “It’s well documented the injury list we have and it seems to be increasing week by week, so it’s great to get another body available to us, but it’s more about the experience he brings.
“He’s one we’ve been looking at for a number of weeks and he’s come in as a free agent so is able to play straight away.”
“The desire Dylan showed when we started conversations struck me straight away.
“He could’ve held fire to see what came up in January, but he was happy with what we discussed with him. He’s a quality player and we’re looking forward to seeing him on the pitch.”
