Hibernian today confirmed that Billy Brown will be leaving the Club when his contract expires on 30 June 2012.

Brown was appointed Assistant Manager in September 2011 and during his time at Easter Road was briefly placed in temporary charge of first team affairs in November2011 as caretaker boss.

Manager Pat Fenlon said: "I'd like to thank Billy for the contribution he's made since I've been at the Club.

"His experience and knowledge of Scottish football is second to none and I was delighted that he agreed to stay on when Liam and I first came into the Club. With the reputation that Billy has I'm sure he'll be back in football before too long."

The Club would like to thank Billy for the effort, knowledge and commitment he gave during his time at Hibernian and wishes him every success in the future.

The Club also confirmed that following the announcement in April this year, Fife Hyland has now formally left the Club. Hyland had informed the Board late in 2011 of his intention to leave at the end of the 2011/12 season. He has served as a Director since December 2008.

Chairman Rod Petrie said: "I should like to thank Fife for the experience, flair and acumen that he brought to the Club. We wish him well for the future."

Reflecting the continued focus on reducing costs throughout the business, the Executive team is now reduced to three personnel - Scott Lindsay, Chief Executive, Jamie Marwick, Finance Director and Garry O'Hagan, Club Secretary/Director.
