Hibs striker Jamie Gullan has been announced as the latest Easter Road player to join Andy Murray's sports agency.

The 21-year-old said he is "delighted" to join 77 Sports Management as he looks to take the next step in his career by cementing a place in the Hibs first-team.

Gullan spent part of last season on loan at Raith Rovers, where he banged in nine goals in 18 matches.

He joins fellow Hibs academy graduates Ryan Porteous and Fraser Murray as part of 77 Sports Management's roster. Another client is Scotland international Caroline Weir.

Gullan said: “I'm delighted to be joining 77 Sports Management and can't wait to get started with the team. I'm at an important point in my career and am confident that this decision will help me achieve my goals on and off the pitch. I’m really excited to be working with Andy and I hope to make the most of his experience.”

Murray added: “Football is a huge passion of mine and I’m looking forward to working with Jamie and helping him develop. He’s a natural goal scorer, has a great work ethic and is highly rated by the coaches. Through our work with Ryan and Fraser, we know everyone at the club and the great set up they have, the future looks bright for Jamie.”

Murray acts as a mentor to all the athletes at 77SM, offering guidance and advice, particularly on performance related issues.
