Hibernian have announced the signing of 29 year old keeper Raphael Sallinger from Austrian Bundesliga side TSV Hartberg on a three year deal. 

The keeper will challenge Jordan Smith for the starting berth after Josef Bursik returned to Club Brugge following his loan spell.

Speaking about the signing, David Gray said:

“We’re really pleased to bring Raphael to the Football Club.

“He’s a talented goalkeeper that has a number of positive attributes, and he performed excellently in the Austrian Bundesliga last season.

“He will provide healthy competition in the goalkeeping department, which will benefit him and Jordan Smith.”
