Hibs have tonight confirmed the signing of Charleston Battery striker Colton Swan.
The 20-year-old American striker will finish the USL season with the Battery, then join the Hibees when the January transfer window opens.
Swan joins for an undisclosed six-figure fee, with a sell-on included by the Battery, also so far, the length of his Easter Road contract is also undisclosed.
The 6ft 2in hitman has scored 11 goals so far this season, and has been capped by the USA at U20 level.
Hibs boss David Gray said:
“We’re really pleased to have agreed a deal for Colton,
“He’s a talented young striker who is certainly one for the future, and we feel he has attributes that will suit Scottish football. We look forward to welcoming him to Easter Road later this year.”
HIBERNIAN-MAD VIEW
A second signing of the day for the Hibees, and a second exciting talented kid throught the door at ER.
It's also good to see Hibs do business with Charleston Battery, a club we had links with in the past, and one we feel we didn't utilise enough.
Hopefully this could be the start of a better working relationship with the American USL side.
Welcome to the Hibees kid.
