An all-action midfielder who is sure to be an instant favourite.
If there is a profile for the kind of player we want to bring to the club, Kyle Magennis fits it.
It may have taken five years to tempt St Mirren into selling their captain, but Hibernian finally have their man in the box-to-box former Scotland Under-21 midfielder.
Jack Ross initially handed him his debut for The Buddies as an 18-year-old - ironically against The Hibees at Easter Road - and the pair are delighted to be linking up once more.
What Kyle does that is different to a lot of young midfielders is he drives with the ball and carries it.
🆕 We are delighted to confirm the signing of St Mirren captain Kyle Magennis.
