Lee Johnson's Hibernian sign former Sunderland winger Aiden McGeady

Aiden McGeady has signed a one year deal with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian. The former Black Cats talisman will be reunited with ex-Sunderland boss Lee Johnson at Easter Road.

The pair struck up quite the relationship with Johnson bringing McGeady back from the cold to spearhead the Wearsiders' play-off push. He was named in the 2020/21 EFL League One Team of the Season, scoring six goals and notching 17 assists from out wide.

Speaking to hibernianfc.co.uk, Johnson said: “We are delighted to bring Aiden to Hibernian FC. He will bring skill, experience and gravitas to our team. Aiden is a top player, has had a fantastic career to date and we aim to extend and accentuate his abilities within the blend of our new-look squad.

“We will also look to utilise Aiden’s fantastic leadership qualities to help guide and get the best out of our young forward players.”

Hibernian FC Head of Recruitment, Ian Gordon added: “Aiden will bring an excellent blend of experience and top-class quality to our side. He has played at the very top level during his career and will help raise our standards going forward.”
