The 16-year-old has signed permanently from Bristol City for an undisclosed fee and has put pen-to-paper on a three-year deal.
The son of our Assistant Manager Jamie McAllister, Reuben shone in the Bristol City Academy and broke into their Under-23s at the tender age of 15.
Prior to moving to Scotland, the youngster continued to impress and will now benefit from being part of the Club’s Development Squad.
On his signing, Academy Director Steve Kean commented: “Bringing a player of Reuben’s ability is a real coup for Hibernian FC. We beat off a lot of competition from top English Premier League sides to bring him here.
“He’s a left-footed creative midfielder who has a real ability on the ball; he can see a pass and loves opening up defences. Alongside that, he’s not afraid to put his foot in and to win the ball back.
“Our games’ programme will help him with the transition from youth football to men’s football. Some weeks he will face elite youth players, then the next he will face senior pros. These experiences will stretch him, and push on his overall development as a player.
“He is a real talent and someone we’re really excited to work with and welcome to Hibernian FC.”
