In what was the Cherries manager Andoni Iraola’s first game in charge of the club, the English Premier League outfit were a cut above Lee Johnson’s Hibees in what will still have been a worthwhile exercise for the Edinburgh club. Bournemouth were 2-0 up inside ten minutes thanks to a fine strike from David Brooks and neat finish from Jaidon Anthony, before Philip Billing netted twice in the second half.

Hibs have also announced that Runar Hauge has joined Norwegian side FK Jerv on a free transfer. The 21-year-old forward joined in January 2022 and made three first-team appearances for the Easter Road side.
