Deadline Day Update:


Hibs have been linked with another full back this afternoon, with the news that Polish player Filip Modelski is the latest.

Modelski, 23, is a free agent after leaving Polish side Jagellonia Bialystock at the end of last season, meaning the Hibees can sign the player after the window closes as he has no club.

Hibs had been in talks with former Motherwell man Tom Hateley, but that move has went quiet, with the Hibees already being linked with a move for former Milan defender Johad Ferretti instead.

It now seems Modelski could also be an option, as Neil Lennon looks to sign some competition for Sir David Gray.

Polish international Modleski started his career with West Ham, before moving back to nis native Poland and signing for GKS Bełchatów, playing 20 games.

He then moved to Jagellonia Bialystock, and went on to play over 70 games for the club.

He has been capped by Poland at U16, U17, U18, U19 & Full international level.
