Aiden McGeady leads trio of Hibs departures as ex Celtic man freed after one year at Easter Road

Aiden McGeady is one of three players heading for the Easter Road exit after just one season at Hibs.

The former Celtic and Republic of Ireland winger made 14 appearances for the Leith side but suffered an injury set-back that ruled him out for the remainder of the season. That came after hamstring issues earlier in the campaign saw him missing in action for 12 weeks. The 37-year-old told the club’s website: “I’ve enjoyed my time at Hibs and wish the lads, supporters, and the staff all the best for next season.”

And keeper Kevin Dabrowski has ended his six-year star in Leith, while Mikey Devlin left for Livingston. Dabrowski, 24, came through the youth ranks and played seven times. He said: “Hibs will always mean a lot to me. I had a special relationship with the supporters and will always be thankful for the way they welcomed me into the Club. I wish everyone at Hibs nothing but the best in the future.”

Devlin added: “I’d like to thank the manager and the staff for building me back up and allowing me to trust my body again. I was going through a challenging time, so I’m so grateful for that. I’d also like to thank the lads for the way they welcomed me in; it was a great dressing room to be a part of.”

CJ Egan-Riley, Will Fish, Matthew Hoppe, and Mykola Kuharevich also return to their parent clubs after loan spells. Director of football Brian McDermott commented: “I would like to thank Aiden, Kevin and Mikey for their commitment and effort during their time with us. I wish them all the best for the future.”
