Matthew Hoppe wants to help fire Hibs to European football as he outlined his personal aims for his time at Easter Road.
The hitman joined on loan from Middlesbrough during the January transfer window and was on target in the win over Kilmarnock in the capital alongside fellow loanee Will Fish. The victory - which maintained the Hibees unbeaten run - pushed Lee Johnson's men into fourth spot, just five points behind city rivals Hearts in third in the race for Europe and the top six.
It was a first goal in Leith for Hoppe who admits it was a 'special day' for him. He's happy to play as a striker or winger but prefers to be through the middle as he aims to add to his goal tally and grow his game in different ways during his time north of the border. Speaking to Edinburgh Evening News, he said: "I think we could have had a lot more goals as a team and I think I could have got a couple more myself too. We just have to be more clinical and take our chances but I think other than that we played well and got a good result, so we have to focus on the positives.
