Former Hibs midfielder Sam Stanton has signed for Dundalk FC in the League of Ireland Premier Division.

The 26-year-old used his Easter Road contacts to hook up with James McPake’s Dundee and former Hibs boss John Hughes at Ross County for training on his return to Scotland from US side Phoenix Rising.
