Young Hibs duo join Brechin City on loan

Last updated : 31 August 2011 By Steve Forbes

Hibs boss Colin Calderwood has today allowed two of the Hibees youngsters to head out on loan, to gain some much needed match experience.

Exciting winger David Crawford and full back Scott Smith have joined second division side Brechin City on loan until January.

Big things are expected of both players, and this loan will help them progress.

19-year-old Smith broke through to the first team this season, and has made a couple of sub appearances for the first team.

Crawford, 18, spent some time on loan at Ayr United last season, and impressed. He was also voted the 2011 SPL rising star.

He has already played for the first team a couple of times this season, and will hopefully use this loan move to push himself into first team reckoning at Easter Road.
