Ofir Marciano on Hibs exit as he delivers 'anything can happen in football' verdict

Ofir Marciano has opened up on his decision to leave Hibs as he admitted 'anything can happen in football' when asked about a possible return one day.

The former Easter Road No1 decided he wanted a new challenge towards the end of his final season and that he would not be renewing his contract in the capital. The Israel international established himself as a fans' favourite during his time at the club but felt after five years in Leith it was time to move on.

He initially penned a loan deal before signing a permanent long-term stay from Ashdod. After seeing out his four-year contract he became a free agent and was snapped up by Dutch giants Feyenoord. He didn't need to think twice about accepting an offer from the Eredivisie side as he opened up on his Hibs exit and finding his new club. Speaking to Football Scotland, he said: "I always felt that I didn't want to feel too comfortable. At Hibs at some point I felt too comfortable, it was like a home for me.
