New Hibs boss Alan Subbs has today confirmed his second signing since taking the Easter Road hot-seat.
French-Moroccan striker Farid El Alagui has followed the capture of full back David Gray as Stubbs continues to bolster his squad.
The former Falkirk, Dundee Utd and Brentford forward has signed a two-year-deal at Easter Road.
Speaking to the official website he said:
“I’m really happy to be at Hibs and I’m excited about the challenge ahead.
“We will be doing everything we can to make sure we get back into the Scottish Premiership.
“As soon as I came here the move felt right and I felt good about playing for Hibs."
The 28-year-old turned down St Johnstone and Dundee to sign for the Hibees, and added:
“When I met Alan, I was impressed because he is young and enthusiastic and he wants to bring something new to the club.
“I think the Scottish Championship will be a very exciting league next season and I’m looking forward to playing for Hibernian.
“I had a few other offers to consider before I chose Hibernian. I thought this was the most exciting challenge and it was very clear in my head that I wanted to be here.”
Hibs boss Alan Stubbs said:
“We’re delighted with the news Farid has decided to join the club – he will be a great addition to the club and his arrival has given everybody a lift.
“We’ve had to fight off competition from Scottish Premiership clubs and also competed with clubs from down south in order to bring Farid here to the club.
“I’m thrilled that he has seen the potential and, after we had a chat, he bought into my vision for Hibernian and the direction where we want to go.
“We’ve mentioned before that we want to add quality players to the squad and Farid’s arrival is the type of signing we’re aiming to introduce this summer.”
