Josh Doig has completed his move to Italy with Serie A outfit Hellas Verona as Hibs bank a £3millon transfer fee for the full-back.
The Easter Road defender has been a standout performer since bursting onto the scene at the capital club and went on to make just shy of 80 top team appearances. The 20-year-old has been in Italy since the weekend thrashing out terms on the deal and undergoing medical tests and he has now put pen to paper to make the move.
The Scotland Under-21 international started his youth career at city rivals Hearts before making the switch to Leith. He enjoyed a brief loan spell at Queen's Park back in 2020. Doig's rapid rise in the Hibs first-team was rewarded with the Scottish Football Writers' Association Young Player of the Year award for the 2020/21 campaign. Lee Johnson has just arrived at Easter Road as he puts his stamp on the team. He's been very active in the transfer market to date bringing in the likes of David Marshall, Aiden McGeady and Jair Tavares as part of a major summer overhaul, but he won't get to work with Doig who has officially departed.
