Riordan Transfer Listed!!!!

Last updated : 24 May 2005 By Steve Forbes
Hibs today revealed that young hitman Derek Riordan, 22, has been transfer listed after the prolific striker refused the offer of a new contract.

The young Scotland star only has one more year left on his contract and is hot property after scoring 23 goals this season and 18 the year before.

Hibs have decided to cash in now rather than lose the player in a year’s time, which is about to happen with Hibs captain Ian Murray's imminent move to Rangers.

The player has scooped the boards this year having won Scottish Football Writers Young Player Of The Year, Scottish Player's Young Player of The Year and just Yesterday Bank Of Scotland SPL Young Player Of The Year.

He will be a massive loss to the club, but selling him is the correct way to go if he does not sign a new contract.
