Development Squad goalkeeper Paddy Martin has joined Stenhousemuir on loan until January.

Martin becomes the third Hibs kid to move to Ochilview this season, with Callum Yeats and Jayden Fairley having both enjoyed promising starts to their own loan spells with The Warriors.

He will continue to work with Hibees goalkeeping coach Craig Samson twice a week at the Hibernian Training Centre.

Sporting Director Graeme Mathie said: “This is a great opportunity for Paddy to play competitive matches in League Two.

“Both Callum and Jayden have spoken very highly of their loan spells at Stenhousemuir this season, so we are delighted to have another young player there to aid their football development.”

Martin added: “I’m grateful to Stenhousemuir for giving me the opportunity to compete for a shot at first-team football in League Two.

“I’ve worked hard to get back to full fitness after my injury last season and it’s made me all the more determined to keep improving.

“I’ve really enjoyed working with Craig Samson and the senior goalkeepers at Hibs but there’s no substitute to playing games and that’s the next step for me.

“It will help already knowing Callum and Jayden and both have only had good things to say about their time at Stenhousemuir.”
