Josh Doig has completed his move to Hellas Verona from Hibs in a deal described by the club as 'one of the highest sales figures ever received'.
The transfer from Easter Road to Italy's Serie A also includes add-ons and a large sell-on agreement for any future transfer from his new club. Chief Executive Ben Kensell has first of all thanked the 20-year-old for his time at the club and has revealed the 'perfect outcome' from the club and Josh in the transfer talks with the money from the transfer to be reinvested in the first-team.
Lee Johnson has arrived this summer and already been heavily backed by his new club with a number of key summer additions including David Marshall, Aiden McGeady and Jair Tavares. More could yet arrive before the close of the window now that the Hibees have a financial windfall behind them following the full-back's departure. Kensell commented: “I’d like to begin by thanking Josh for his time at Hibernian FC; he’s a great young man with a big future ahead of him.
