Hibs are said to be quietly working on a deal to bring back Martin Boyle, less than a year after his move to Saudi Arabia.
The Australian international is currently looking at the possibility of playing second tier football in the middle-east after moving Al-Faisaly in January. They have been relegated from their nation's top flight and Boyle is desperate to remain in Australia national team manager Graham Arnold's plans for the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
It is reported by the Scottish Sun that Boyle would 'jump at the chance of a Hibs comeback' eight months on from his lucrative £3million move. Any such move would prove emotional for club and player, with the 29-year-old winning the Scottish Cup and Championship while playing 187 league games and scoring 47 goals over a brilliant seven-year stint. His wife, Hibernian Women star Rachael, and daughter Amelia stayed behind in Edinburgh as he moved abroad.
