Livingston have made defender Michael Devlin their first signing of the summer transfer window. The 29-year-old will join from Hibs on an initial one-year deal which could extend to three years if match appearance clauses are triggered.
The centre-back came through the ranks at Hamilton before spells at Aberdeen, where he made three Scotland appearances, Fleetwood Town and latterly Hibs.
Lions boss David Martindale said: "I’m delighted to get Mikey over the line. He brings a wealth of experience at an extremely good level. “Mikey has had his injury problems over the last 2-3 seasons but I am confident that we have a fantastic skill set at the club to get Mikey back playing Premier League football. “He is a good age and was playing international football late 2019.
He can cover a few positions and is a leader on the park. He is versatile and has played in the centre of defence, as a defensive midfielder and at right-back on occasion too. “There is no doubt in my mind that if it wasn’t for his injuries the last two seasons, he would still be playing international football and at the top end of the league. “Mikey has signed a 1-year contract that can be extended year-on-year based on a set amount of starts each season triggering the year extension up to 3 years.” The Lions ended their campaign on a disappointing run which saw them clinch just three wins in their final 14 games whilst defensive frailties caused gaffer Martindale to call them 'soft' following Sunday's loss to St Johnstone.
