Rocky Bushiri admits he always really wanted to stay at Hibs and grow at the club despite being named on a list of players leaving over the summer.
The defender signed a three-year deal at Easter Road in June following a loan period from Norwich City. Shaun Maloney brought the stopper to the club during the January window but he was later sacked with Lee Johnson now the man in charge at the capital club.
The 22-year-old is ready to work hard every game as he bids for a better season personally after triggering his full-time stay due to a clause in his initial loan. A fresh start under Johnson has begun and he reckons he can thrive under his new boss as they aim to put behind the disappointment of last season with success this time around. He said: “There were talks during the summer and I really wanted to stay. I felt really good in the team and with the board and I wanted to stay and grow here.
