Martin Boyle is on his way BACK to HIbs after Al-Faisaly 'approved' an offer submitted from the capital club for the attacker.
The Easter Road outfit sold their star man earlier this year in what was describe at the time as a life-changing move for the Australia international. The Hibees always held first option to bring him back to the club should the opportunity present itself and now Lee Johnson has moved to bring the fans' favourite back to Leith as part of his major summer overhaul.
He will join the likes of Aiden McGeady, Jair Tavares and David Marshall at the club with his return likely to hand both the supporters and players a major boost ahead of the new campaign. An opening day win was picked up at St Johnstone with a capital derby next on the agenda tomorrow against city rivals Hearts. A statement from Al-Faisaly read: "The club management approved the offer submitted by the Scottish club Hibernian regarding the transfer of the Australian first-team football player “Martin Boyle”, wishing him more success and success."
