Hibernian have made their fourth signing of the summer transfer window, adding 20-year-old striker Nathan Lowe from Stoke City on loan.

Having progressed through the Stoke City Academy, Lowe has made 142 career appearances, including stints at Stockport, Walsall, and, most recently, Wycombe Wanderers last season, where he managed 11 goals.

A promising young player, his career highlights include a senior debut for the Potters in 2023 and being awarded League 2 Young Player of the Season for Walsall, scoring 18 goals in 30 appearances.

Manager David Gray was delighted to finalise the deal. Speaking with the Hibernian website, Gray believes Lowe has an abundance of positive attributes for his side.

“I’m really pleased to add Nathan to the group as we continue to build for next season.

“We have been looking to add a player with his attributes to the squad, and he brings a great energy and enthusiasm about his play, as well as a physical presence.

“He is a natural goalscorer, and he has proven that he can score a range of different types of goals.

“He has good experience too, having already played a substantial amount of games at a competitive level despite his young age.

“I am looking forward to working with him, and we’re delighted to bring him into the building ahead of our first competitive game of the season later this month.”

The signing of Lowe brings Hibernian’s transfer total to four, having already acquired defender Jason Kerr and midfielders Callum Wright and Azeem Abdulai.
