On trial at ER
Hibs have taken Ipswich Town defender Amir Karic on trial, with a view to a permanent move.

Bobby Williamson is moved fast to try and get someone in before the transfer window closes this weekend, and the Slovenian international fits the bill, as he is naturally a left sided player, either in defence or midfield.

With the departure of Ulrik Laursen to Celtic, BW had been thought to be looking at highly rated Motherwell youngster Steven Hammell, but it's the 29 year old Karic who has arrived at Easter Road. Karic hasn't really made it at Portman Road, only making 3 appearances for the club, and would relish a move to Edinburgh to kick start his career.
