Will Fish in Hibs farewell post with Lee Johnson keen on permanent deal for Manchester United loanee

Will Fish has said his goodbyes to everyone at Hibernian via a post on social media after his campaign in the capital.

The former England Under-19 international joined the Hibees on a season-long loan from Premier League giants Manchester United back in September, and went onto score three goals in 21 appearances in all competitions. The Manchester-born youngster played 90 minutes in last weekend's Edinburgh derby, where Hibs were held to a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle by a ten-man Hearts side, who were able to hold onto fourth place in the final game of the season.

Football Scotland report that manager Lee Johnson and the club's recruitment team are exploring the possibility of sealing the defender's signature on a permanent basis, but for now Fish has said his farewells in a heartfelt post via his Twitter account.

Fish said: "Grateful for the opportunity to be able to play for this club, met some of the best people along the way. I wish everyone the best of luck for the future. Thankyou @HibernianFC "

The 20-year old recently revealed that he does have a decision to make about his future at Old Trafford this summer, and hinted that European football with the Hibees could make that call a lot easier.

Despite finishing fifth, the Leith club will qualify for Europe if Celtic defeat Inverness in the Scottish Cup final this weekend.

A victory for the Hoops will see boss Lee Johnson's side enter the second round qualifying phase for the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
