Alex Gogic is unveiled as Hibs' third summer signing

Hibs have completed a deal for former Hamilton midfielder Alex Gogic.

The 26-year-old, who spent three-and-a-half seasons with Accies, has agreed a two-year deal at Easter Road.

Gogic is the club’s third summer signing, following on from the arrivals of striker Kevin Nisbet from Dunfermline Athletic, and winger Drey Wright, who was most recently with St Johnstone.

Speaking to Hibs’ website, he said: "I'm really happy to have everything sorted and to be a Hibernian player.

"I had opportunities to go and play elsewhere throughout Europe, but I love the game in Scotland and I know already what a big club this is.

"I am here to help make the team better in any way I can and I take pride in being able to win the ball back for my team-mates. That's the side of the game I enjoy the most.

"I've missed playing and can't wait to get going."

Head Coach Jack Ross added: "We're delighted to have Alex on board. He's a leader and offers us a real presence in midfield. He'll complement the other players we have in that area of the park."

The former Olympiacos and Swansea City youth player will play no part in tomorrow’s closed-doors friendly against St Mirren at East Mains, and will join up with his new team-mates on Monday.
