Former Norwich and Birmingham defender Grant Hanley could be on his way to Hibernian.
The 33-year-old free agent was spotted at Easter Road tonight, watching Hibs’ Europa Qualifier against FC Midtjylland. He was accompanied by his former Scotland teammate and Hibs technical director, David Marshall.
Hanley has 62 appearances for Scotland, including playing in the back-to-back Euros in 2021 and 2024. Scotland manager Steve Clarke often utilises him in a back three, a setup similar to David Gray’s Hibs team. The Leith side has already strengthened their centre-back options, securing Rocky Bushiri and Jack Iredale on long-term contracts towards the end of last season. Adding Hanley’s experience could be vital for Hibs, especially after their impressive third-place finish last season.
Hibs have had a busy summer transfer window so far, bringing in Josh Mulligan from Dundee, Jamie McGrath from Aberdeen, Austrian goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger, and record signing Thibault Klidje. The latter Klidje arrives from Swiss side Luzern in a deal worth over 1 million, a statement of intent from Hibernian.
