Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett has today confirmed that Hibs move for Andrew Shinnie is nearly done.
Hibs have approached the midlands club over a season long loan deal for the Scotland midfielder, and it's been accepted.
It's now up to the former Inverness Caledonian Thistle player if he wants to move back to Scotland.
Rowett said:
"There has been contact between the clubs.
“Shinns has been a great lad for me, he’s a really, really good player, particularly when we first came in he was a really integral part of that.
"The likes of Jon and Diego have moved that No. 10 position on a notch in some ways and it’s made it difficult for him to get game time.
“Anyone's like that when it’s a season of no game time really, you start getting into the next season and if you feel as though he is still going to be limited I will never try and stand in anyone’s way.
“I would want to play football if I was a player.
“They have made an enquiry, we have virtually agreed and now it’s down to one or two things that Shinns has to decide.
“Whether he wants to go back to Scotland and various other things.
“In principle it’s something both clubs think it’s probably a good move for him although until it’s done it’s not done.”
The 27-year-old has also had spells with Rangers & Dundee earlier in his career.
