Hibs have confirmed that Scotland U21 midfielder Scott Allan has signed for the club to become Alan Stubbs third summer signing.
Allan was a free agent after leaving English Premiership side West Brom at the end of last season.
The 22-year-old former Dundee Utd youngster has signed a two-year-contract, with the option of a third year added in.
Speaking to the official club website Allan said:
"I believe I learned a lot from my time down south - both personally and professionally - but I had my mind set on a move back home to Scotland.
"At this point in my career, I want to play football as regularly as possible and be closer to home and the move here to Hibs ticks all the boxes.
"I'm an ambitious player and I want to achieve success here with Hibs.
"I've been impressed with what the manager has said and I want to help the club get back into the Scottish Premiership."
Hibs boss Alan Stubbs added:
"The fact he has agreed to come here to Hibernian is a tremendous coup for everybody at the club.
"Scott will add something different to what we already have within our squad - he is an attacking midfielder, who can both create and score goals.
"He's young, but has already gained a lot of experience from his time at Dundee United and also down south, so he will be equipped for the demands of the upcoming season.
"We'd like to thank our supporters for their patience shown over the past five weeks; hopefully they'll be hugely excited by Scott's arrival.
"We're pleased with the signings we've completed so far with hopefully some more to come in the near future."
