McGeouch targets promotion as he signs for Hibs

Dylan McGeouch is planning a quick return to the top flight after signing for Hibs today.

The midfielder spent last season on loan at Easter Road and signed a three year deal today to be reunited with Alan Stubbs.

After losing out in the play-off’s last season everyone at Hibs is looking to go one better with Stubbs assembling an exciting midfield trio of Liam Henderson, John McGinn and McGeoch to combat the loss of Scott Allan.

“I’m really pleased to join Hibs permanently and picking up from where I left off last season,” McGeouch told the Hibs website.

“I really enjoyed playing for the club and working with Alan Stubbs, so when the opportunity came up to come back to Hibs it was the right choice for me.

“At this stage in my career, I need to be playing games on a regular basis and I felt I really benefited from that experience last season. Now I’m looking to kick on and help the team to challenge for promotion.”

Stubbs said: “I’m absolutely delighted that we’ve managed to sign Dylan – his return will add real quality to the squad.

“He was one of our stand-out performers last season and he is a player that I’ve wanted to sign on a permanent basis from the very first day he joined on loan.

“So the fact that we’re now in a position to make that move a reality is fantastic news for everybody connected to the club.”
