Ex-Bristol City coach opens up on Reuben McAllister's decision to swap the Robins for Hibernian

Jamie McAllister insists he played little part in son Reuben McAllister’s decision to leave Bristol City and follow him to Hibernian.

Hibs secured the 16-year-old former Robins prospect earlier this summer, with academy staff at the High Performance extremely disappointed to have lost one of their prized talents.

McAllister made his Under-23 debut for the Robins last season and was on the cusp of signing a three-year contract in the West County only for Hibs to steal in and take him up to Scotland. McAllister had also changed agents shortly before the move which led to a flurry of transfer rumours in the build-up.
