Last updated : 03 January 2015 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have completed a loan swap deal on the first day of the transfer window.

Striker Martin Boyle has joined the Hibees on a 6 month loan deal from Dundee.

Hibs winger Alex Harris has headed in the opposite direction on a 6 month loan deal.

21-year-old Boyle made his name as a teenager with Brechin City, scoring 30 goals in 63 appearances.

He then won himself a move to Dundee in the Premiership, but has toiled to hold down a first team spot.

Boyle, 21, has made 55 appearances for the Dee's, scoring only 5 goals, but a lot of his appearances have been from the bench.

Hibs boss Alan Stubbs has been looking to sign a couple of strikers with Farid El Alagui still injured, and Dominique Malonga heading to the African Nations Cup for up to a month.
