Lee Johnson admits he would love Will Fish and CJ Egan-Riley back at Hibs as he looks to 'trim the fat' off his squad and recruit quality.
Manchester United defender Fish stepped up to the plate following Ryan Porteous' exit in January and really impressed but the Easter Road side could face competition from Aberdeen to land his services again for next season. Egan-Riley was another who fitted in well and with no option to buys in either deal, the Easter Road gaffer is pushing to get both back on board for the new campaign.
A mass number of players arrived in Johnson's first campaign in charge and asked if he expects a big turnaround this time around, he said: “A lot of that will be dictated by the loans. I’d love to have Will and CJ back, as an example. They’re not our only loans but while I remember a media report suggesting we had too many loans, with some of these guys we have an option to turn it into a permanent and some we haven’t.
