No Hibs deal for Polish trialist

Last updated : 09 September 2016 By Steve Forbes

Polish defender Filip Modelski has failed to win a deal with Hibs, following a trial period with the club.

The 23-year-old was linked with a move to the Hibees before the transfer window closed, but Hibs apparently, suddenly, dropped their interest.

Hibs then reversed the decision, bringing the former West Ham youngster in on trial, with him playing in the Hibees development squad's 3-1 win over Motherwell at Oriam last week.

Easter Road gaffer Neil Lennon has now dropped his interest in the player, he said:

“We’re not taking that option on. We have had a good look at him and he’s not for us.

“We have other options but they’ll be put to the back burner until after the weekend.

“We’re still trying to create a place there as right-back cover for David.”
