Hibs have announced the signing of Emiliano Marcondes on loan. The 28-year-old forward arrives at Easter Road from Premier League side Bournemouth on loan for the rest of this season.

Marcondes began his career with Danish Superliga side Nordsjaelland before moving to Brentford and helped the Bees secure promotion to the Premier League prior to moving to the south coast to join the Cherries, also enjoying promotion to the top flight. Additionally, he won the Danish Superliga on loan with Midtjylland.

Speaking about the signing, Hibs head coach Nick Montgomery said: “We’re delighted to get this signing over the line. Emiliano is a top player and one that adds extra quality to our squad. A player of his ability always has a lot of interest, but through numerous conversations and him watching how we play, he has really bought into Hibs and the part he can play here in the second half of the season. As a player, he’s very intelligent and is a specialist from dead ball situations. We look forward to working with him for the remainder of the season.”

Emiliano Marcondes has joined Hibs from Bournemouth.

Marcondes becomes Hibs’ second signing of the window after Hertha Berlin forward Myziane Maolida joined on loan and the capital club are expected to announce three loan departures in the next 48 hours, with goalkeeper Max Boruc, defender Riley Harbottle and midfielder Allan Delferriere set to depart.
