Gary Caldwell says working with Demetri Mitchell at Hibs spurred on the pursuit of the defender for his new club Exeter City.
The former Hibernian defender, now in charge of the English League One side, has swooped in for the 26-year-old as Mitchell brings to an end a horror spell at Easter Road that saw him play just 70 minutes of football under Lee Johnson. The Englishman previously played for rivals Hearts and stirred the pot when arriving back in Edinburgh only to barely feature in Leith.
Johnson seems to making good on his promise to shift the dead weight at Hibs, but Caldwell believes he has landed a prime talent for his team. Despite a plethora of injuries this season, Caldwell insists the player is read to go.
