The Australian international signed for the Hibees last weekend and made his debut the following day in the Edinburgh Derby.

The powerful defensive midfielder put pen-to-paper on an 18-month deal and sat down with Hibs TV shortly after to explain the reasoning behind his move.

He told us: “As soon as I heard the Club was interested it was something that I knew I wanted to be a part of. I know how big this Club is and it is something that I am really happy to be a part of.

“I spoke with Boyler before I joined, I spoke to Jackson-Irvine who used to play here too.

"There have been a few Aussie who have played over here, so it was good to touch base with them and they were all really positive about the Club.

“English and Scottish Football is already massive in Australia. There is a real thirst for it at the moment, so I know a lot about the league and the Club already. But it was nice to get a personal touch from the lads and that made the decision easier for me.”
