Hibernian have signed Canada international Junior Hoilett on a one-year-deal following his exit from Aberdeen.

The 34-year-old, who has amassed over 500 career appearances, has “been on Hibs’ radar”, says head coach, David Gray, following his short stint in the north-east in the second part of last season.

Hoilett made his Dons debut against Hibs in a 2-2 draw in February, and went on to make 15 appearances for the club, scoring two goals and providing nine assists in the process.

Before moving north of the border, Hoilett enjoyed spells in the English Premier League with Blackburn Rovers, QPR and Cardiff City.

Gray is hopeful such experiences will enhance his dressing room, adding: “Throughout his career he’s played at a very high level and adapted well to Scottish football last season. He adds extra options and quality to the final third, alongside leadership and experience to the dressing room.

“We look forward to working with him.”
