Last updated : 31 August 2011 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have tonight confirmed that Dutch midfielder Edwin De Graaf has had his contract with the club terminated by mutual consent.

The 31-year-old attacking midfielder has struggled to make an impact since former manager John Hughes signed him on a two-year-deal last summer from dutch side NAC Breda.

Hibs let him leave the club in the January transfer window, to go back on loan in his native Holland, with Excelsior.

De Graaf returned for pre-season training at East Mains in the summer, but failed to make an impact in the first team this season so far.

Hibs boss Colin Calderwood has allowed the former Feyenoord player to leave the club with immeadiate effect.

6ft 2in De Graaf played 22 times and scored 2 goals whilst in Edinburgh.
