Verona is famous for Romeo and Juliet. For Josh Doig, his Serie A move has been a case of love at first sight.
The 20-year-old swapped Hibs for Hellas Verona in the summer and it is fair to say it has turned out to be something of a love-in on both sides. Left-backs have become hip in the Italian top flight of late. Doig is now following in the footsteps of Aaron Hickey, who impressed at Bologna before he made his move to Brentford in England’s Premier League.
“It has been good,” said the former Easter Road defender. “Everything is different from the football to the culture. It is all very different to Scotland. It took me a month or two to get used to everything but since then I have been loving life in Italy. I wanted a change. I want to travel and see different places and football can give you that platform to do so.
