FC Edinburgh chairman Jim Brown says his club's partnership with Hibs can see both benefit from youth player development.
The League One side have agreed a five-year deal with their Premiership city neighbours that will see an annual friendly played, Hibernian women playing at Meadowbank, community work and loan transfers as part of the agreement. Easter Road first-team members Ryan Porteous and Josh Campbell have had loans with the newly-promoted third tier side before and Brown reckons Leith chief executive Ben Kensell is acting in smart fashion.
Jack Brydon has also returned on loan from Hibs and Brown said: "It's a win-win situation and one of the things Hibs realised when we first started talking to Ben Kensell - which a lot of other clubs don't - is the benefit of sending young players to us.
