A recruitment shake-up is on the way and how will it impact Hibs’ player trading?
Transfer business is something that has been criticised at Easter Road since the Gordon family came to Leith on July 2nd, 2019. Hibs will turn to Bournemouth head of recruitment analysis Garvan Stewart to help with that, amid Cherries owner Bill Foley’s minority stake in the club through Black Knights Football Club..
January is looming. While a busy run of games that head coach David Gray will hope sparks a run of wins to drag them away from the bottom of the Premiership is imminent, thoughts of who comes into the team in January will possibly be on the minds at HTC.
But what signings have Hibs made under the Gordon family? Here are 80 who’ve been brought in since July 2nd 2019. Some were or have been signed as key first team members, others as projects.
There are hits, misses and a bit of the in-between throughout managerial reigns of Paul Heckingbottom, Jack Ross, Shaun Maloney, Lee Johnson, Nick Montgomery and now Gray. Have a look.
69. Drey Wright
One of the many players to have performed at St Johnstone but struggled at Hibs. Was once booed on to the park by his own fans at Easter Road. Returned to his former club after two years at the Leith club. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
70. Dillon Barnes
Barnes, on loan from QPR, made eight appearances before heading back to England. Not a name many fans will remember, largely down to lack of minutes in a season behind closer doors. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
71. Paul McGinn
Into the winter window of 19/20 we go. Another question of was it wrong to let him go. A consistent 6 or 7/10 in defence was let free in the summer of 2022. Now captain of Motherwell. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group
72. Marc McNulty
His first loan pre-Gordon regime was impressive and a popular signing when brought back in January 19. Scored a hat-trick in the Scottish Cup vs BSC Glasgow but netted just once in six games in the league. The forward is now playing for Shamrock Rovers. | SNS Group
