Hibs have handed five promising young players their first professional contracts.
Owen Hastie, Jacob MacIntyre, Rudi Molotnikov, Alfie Smith and Harry Wright have all agreed deals for the first time in their careers in what is a huge day for any young footballer. All five have been handed two-year contracts as they continue their development at Easter Road with Gareth Evans' Under-18s squad.
Lee Johnson has arrived this summer as Shaun Maloney's successor and has been very busy in the transfer market with a number of ins and outs in Leith. Notable incomings include David Marshall, Aiden McGeady and Jair Tavares with Josh Doig netting the club £3million after his departure for Serie A with Italian outfit Hellas Verona. The young full-back will be an inspiration to the crop of talented teens who have all put pen to paper at Easter Road as what can happen with hard work, determination and the success of breaking into the first-team set-up.
