HIBS have signed defender Lewis Miller on a pre-contract agreement from Australian side MacArthur FC.
The player – who has been capped at Under-23 level – joins the Edinburgh side on a three-year deal with the option to extend to a fourth.
The versatile full-back has 56 career appearances and finished the 21/22 season in the A-League Team of the Season.
On the arrival of the young Aussie, Lee Johnson said: “I’m delighted the Club have managed to secure Lewis. We have secured his services amongst fierce competition from interested parties in Scotland and across the globe.
“Lewis is a real competitor in his game style and is blessed with the physical and technical attributes to seamlessly fit into the way we work.
“Credit must go to Lewis also, as he decided to join Hibs for the right reasons. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in a Hibs shirt.”
Although the full terms of the deal remain undisclosed, Head of Recruitment Ian Gordon added: “A lot of work has gone into bringing Lewis to the Club. He’s someone that really impressed in the A-League last season.
“This highlights our strategy of securing young, exciting talent from around the world and how we’re expanding our scouting network globally.
“The terms of this deal made it a no-brainer for us, as he has the attributes to fit into Lee Johnson’s system.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
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!
