Following the news, Hibs boss Lee Johnson said: “We are delighted to welcome Marijan to Hibernian FC and look forward to working with him. He has history of playing at a very high level and is the perfect age to add to our group. He’s athletic, a really technical left-back who has quality on the ball through his delivery and distribution. He will add strength to our group.”
Hibs head of Recruitment, Ian Gordon, added: “Squad planning is always at the forefront of our minds and knowing there’s been interest in Josh Doig for a prolonged period, Marijan is someone we’ve been looking at very closely. He has experience of playing European football, has good pedigree, and is someone we believe can hit the ground running straight away.”
