Former Hibs star links up with Easter Road favourite abroad as summer transfer sealed
The pair both previously played for Hibs.
There will be a Hibs theme to the striker force at Mohun Bagan after Jamie Maclaren signed a deal with the Indian Super League side.
The Australian striker has signed a four-year deal following the expiry of his contract at Melbourne City. Maclaren has established himself as the all-time leading goalscorer in A-League history after 115 goals in 163 appearances during his spell at City. He scored nine times in 30 matches for Hibs.
Another ex-Hibs star Maclaren will link up with while in India is Jason Cummings. The forward moved down under to Central Coast Mariners in 2022 to rebuild his career after a spell in the Premiership with Dundee ended shortly after being sent home from training. This was following making a stage appearance at a football show in Glasgow.
Cummings started his career with Hibs, scoring 71 times in 149 games, helping the club win the Scottish Cup and the Scottish Championship. Form in the A-League clinched a chance in India, joining Mohun Bagan last year, and now forming a striking partnership with Maclaren. Former Motherwell defender Tom Aldred has also made the move after a spell in Australia with with Brisbane Roar.
Looking ahead to time at his next club, the 30-year-old is brimming with excitement over what is to come on his next adventure in football Maclaren told club media: "I am proud to have signed for Mohun Bagan.
“I really cannot wait to get to Kolkata and meet you guys, all my fans, and my new teammates, and also meet some friends I have played with before, looking forward to a super exciting season, Joy Mohun Bagan!”
