Millwall wing-back Adam Mayor has become Hibernian’s fifth signing of the summer, joining on an undisclosed fee. 

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Cambridge United in League One, making 35 appearances, scoring on three occasions and assisting on four.

The Englishman is expected to provide competition to Nicky Cadden and Jordan Obita at left wing-back in David Gray’s favoured back three.

Speaking on his arrival, Gray said: “We’re delighted to bring another exciting young player into the building and welcome Adam to Hibernian FC.

“He is a promising young player to add to the group, and he has already made successful strides in his career so far.

“There’s no doubt Adam will bring real athleticism to the squad. He’s a wing-back who really loves attacking and putting crosses into the box and can contribute at both ends of the pitch.

“We’re all looking forward to him joining the group and working with him going forward.”

In Mayor’s first interview as a Hibs player, he said: “I’ve known [of the interest] for a few weeks now, and as soon as I heard about it, I was really interested, so I’m just happy to finally get it over the line.

“I think it’s just the different opportunities [that attracted me here].

“You’re playing in front of big crowds here at home, and you get the chance to push to play in Europe every season, so I think it’s just a different challenge and a lot of bigger opportunities as well.

“My aim is to just go and create and score as many goals as I can, and obviously as a team we want to go and do well in Europe and finish as high as we can in the league.

“Personally, I want to create and score as many goals as I can. As a team we want to do well in Europe and win a few derbies!

Mayor joins fellow youngster Nathan Lowe as Hibernian’s second signing of the day and the fifth incoming so far this season. All of Hibs’ signings plied their trade in League One last season.
