HIBS have confirmed the signing of Aiden McGeady.
The 36-year-old has put pen to paper on a one-year deal at Easter Road.
The former Celtic player has been linked with a switch back to Scottish football over the past few weeks.
He was released by Sunderland following their promotion to the Championship last term.
He becomes Hibs' seventh signing of the summer transfer window with David Marshall, Nohan Kenneh, Rocky Bushiri, Lewis Miller, Momodou Bojang and Jair Tavares all putting pen-to-paper ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
And they have now added the vital experience of the Republic of Ireland international to their ranks.
A statement from the club reads: "Hibernian FC are delighted to announce the signing of talented midfielder Aiden McGeady.
