Hibs are close to secruing their first signing of the summer transfer window.
Defender Jason Kerr has been in Edinburgh these last few days discussing a deal, with an agreement said to be close, and his medical imminent.
The 29-year-old is a free agent after leaving English side Wigan Athletic at the end of his contract and is on the verge of becoming David Gray's first signing this window.
Kerr, a well known Hibs supporter, started his career with St Johnstone, and went on to captain them to a cup double during the 2020-21 season.
He played nearly 150 games for the Perth club, with a couple of loan deal with East Fife and Queen of the South during that time.
Kerr signed for Wigan at the start of the 2021-22 season and played over 130 times in 5 seasons with the Latics.
Hibs are expected to announce his signing in the coming days.
HIBERNIAN-MAD VIEW
A good, solid signing for the Hibees should the deal get across the line.
Kerr being a massive Hibee is a plus.
Hibs had been expected to bolster their centre half options after the news broke that Rocky Bushiri is facing a long spell on the sidelines, with an expected achilles injury, and the departure of Manashe Garananga back to FC Copenhagen after his loan deal.
