Hibernian goalkeeper Max Boruc has joined Arbroath on loan.
The 21-year-old has featured four times for Hibs this season but is seeking regular game time in the Scottish Championship.
Boruc made his debut for Hibs in qualifying for the Europa Conference League in a 6-1 win over Inter Club d'Escaldes.
However, he has had limited minutes in the first-team with David Marshall and Murray Johnson in the matchday squads.
A club statement confirmed: "We can confirm that Max Boruc has joined cinch Championship side Arbroath on loan.

"The young ‘keeper has joined the Red Lichties for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign to gain regular First Team football.
"After joining the Hibees in the summer, Boruc has made four appearances, with his debut coming in our UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Andorran side Inter Club d'Escaldes.
"He will now link up with Jim McIntyre’s side for the remainder of the campaign. Arbroath sit bottom of the second-tier of Scottish football with 18 points from 20 games."
Hibs coach Nick Montgomery commented: “Like Riley, this is a good opportunity for Max to go out and play regular football in a really competitive league.
“I’m sure he will embrace this opportunity, and I look forward to seeing how this will help develop his all-round game.”

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
