Warren O’Hora has completed a move to Leicester City with Serbian defender Marko Ivezić arriving in Edinburgh on a three-year-deal.
O’Hora was one of David Gray’s first signings as Hibs boss, arriving from MK Dons. The Irishman made 85 appearances for Hibs, scoring 3 goals in green and white.
Leicester’s new defender was integral to Hibs defence over the years, being a mainstay in a Hibs defence that qualified for European football in back-to-back seasons. He will now join up with his old MK Dons boss and ex-Rangers manager Russell Martin as the former Premier League champions currently find themselves in League One.
After completing his move, rumoured to be in the region of £400,000, O’Hora said:
“He’s very versatile, which gives us another option within the squad, and at 24, he is at an age where he has his best years ahead of him and we believe he is primed and ready to fit right into the squad.”
Ivezić could be thrown into the deep end for his debut as Hibernian host rivals Hearts tomorrow infant of a sold out Easter Road.
