Hibs Youngsters/Fringe players to be farmed out on loan.

Last updated : 01 December 2005 By Steve Forbes


It is thought that Hibs will allow a number of youngsters and fringe players to head out on loan during the upcoming transfer window.

Jonathan Baillie, Sam Morrow, Amadou Konte, Jamie McKluskey, Kevin McDonald & Steve Notman are just some of the names in the frame.

Jonathan Baillie has just returned from an 18 month injury lay off, due to an on going toe problem and also a broken bone in his foot. It is thought Ayr Utd are interested in snapping up the young Centre Half on loan until the end of the season.

Strikers Sam Morrow & Amadou Konte are the most prominent of the players thought to be heading out and are finding it hard to break up the 100+ goal partnership of Derek Riordan & Gary O'Connor.

Sam Morrow joined the club from Ipswich Town in the summer of 2004 but has failed to set the heather alight in front of goal when he does get a chance. It is thought that Falkirk will make a move for him during the window.

Amadou Konte joined the club, during last year’s winter transfer window from Cambridge United, but has really struggled to establish himself at Easter Road and it would do him good, to get some games & goals under his belt and hopefully return to Easter Road a more confident player.


Another Hibs player on the move has been Kevin Nicol, he has returned to the club from a loan spell in Norway with Stromgodset, but can't play again until January as he needs to be re registered.
