Hibernian are set to hand Mikey Devlin a contract for the rest of the season after the former Scotland international impressed during a recent trial.

With Hibs short of defensive cover boss Lee Johnson will offer the former Aberdeen stopper a short-term deal. Devlin is a free agent after leaving Fleetwood in January and the 29-year-old is looking for a change of luck on the injury front. His time at Pittodrie was plagues by lengthy spells on the sidelines. He then headed to Fleetwood and although he was a regular for the Highbury outfit he also missed out on games with a minor issue.
