Transfer deadline day LIVE
Headline moves
Hibs winger Stevie Bradley joins Dundalk on a season-long loan deal
Murphy exits
Jamie Murphy has left Hibs on loan to join Mansfield Town.
Similar to Alex Gogic, who joined St Mirren in a loan deal, Murphy is out of contract at the end of the season and this move likely signals the end of his career at Easter Road.
Woah, woah, woah... just a minute!
Hibs have announced a new signing just after the closing of the January transfer window!
Sylvester Jasper joins on loan from English Championship side Fulham. The winger is signed on a deal until the end of the season though there is an option to buy.
He spent time on loan at Colchester United earlier this season.
Shaun Maloney said of the 20-year-old, who has been capped by Bulgaria’s under-21s: “Sylvester is a talented young player that possesses a lot of creativity and speed. He gives us extra options and can play on both the left and right in attacking areas.
“My staff and I are looking forward to working with him and welcoming him to the club.”
Midnight strikes!
I’ll be staying up for another half-hour to make sure nothing is announced after the deadline but that appears to be it.
Though there were a good few rumours, it ended up being a fairly quiet transfer day in Edinburgh compared to what many expected.
The major news:
John Souttar remains a Hearts player until the summer
Hibs sign Runar Hauge but fail in pursuit to sign first-team winger
