Lewis Stevenson reckons Josh Doig is a match for Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to physique and that well help him take Serie A by storm.
The Hibs defender is on the verge of joining Hellas Verona in a £3million deal, following in former Hearts star Aaron Hickey ’s footsteps in swapping the capital for Calcio. The Hibees are set to sign Croatian international Marijan Cabraja as a replacement.
Stevenson has watched Doig’s progress up close, acting as an Easter Road mentor to the young fullback. Not only does he believe Doig will adapt to life in Italy well, but he’ll thrive and kick-on again. Hickey made a £19million switch to English premier League side Brentford last week. And Stevenson can see Doig developing to the extent that he also earns himself a bigger move further down the line.
