Aiden McGeady will not be extending his stay at Hibs.

The 37-year-old former Sunderland player joined the club last summer but his return to the Scottish top flight has not gone to plan, as injuries dogged his season.

Out for almost five months early in the season with knee troubles, his campaign then ended prematurely when he picked up a hamstring injury in February.

It meant that the Republic of Ireland winger was unable to make the impact that he and the club had been hoping for and he has now been named as one of the first team squad players who will exit the club in the close-season.

In a statement, the club have thanked the experienced winger, who had two assists in his 14 appearances, while McGeady leaves with no hard feelings. “I’ve enjoyed my time at Hibs and wish the lads, supporters, and the staff all the best for next season.”

While Mikey Devlin has also departed following just one appearance, expressing his gratitude to the club for helping him fight back from injury and allowing him “to trust my body again” after signing a deal with Premiership rivals Livingston for the new term, Hibs have also called time on Kevin Dabrowski’s six-year spell with the club.
