Speaking to the official club website, the Hibs boss said:

“Anthony is a fantastic footballer and will really strengthen the squad.

“We have a number of options in attack and real competition for places which is what every manager wants.

“We are excited about Anthony coming here and I think he will prove to be a real asset.”

Stokes previously played for the Hibees back in 2009-2010, scoring 24 goals in 48 games.

A fantastic signin for the Hibees!!!
