Hibs trial for winger Aaron Kovar

Last updated : 13 December 2016 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have handed a trial to American winger Aaron Kovar.

The 23-year-old Seattle Sounders player will stay in Edinburgh until Christmas, in an attempt to win a deal at Easter Road.

Kovar can play on either wing, and is the latest player to arrive at Easter Road on trial, as Neil Lennon looks to boost his squad during the January transfer window.

It's not the first time Kovar has had a trial in the UK, having previously spent time with both Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday in the last 12 months.

Hibs boss Neil Lennon said:

“Aaron is a winger who can play both sides. He wants to go home for Christmas, but he’ll be with us until then so that will give us a chance to have a good look at him.”
