Wollacott joins Hibs

Joe Wollacott has signed on a permanent deal with Scottish Premier League’s Hibernian. The fee is undisclosed.

Once Dean Holden made it clear that Ashley Maynard-Brewer was his no. 1 choice, Joe’s future was always going to be away from The Valley, and at Hibs, who will also taste European football next year, he get’s an opportunity to play games and make a stake for a Ghana place.

Wollacott played 16 games before a very cruel finger injury ruled him out of the World Cup and for most of the rest of the season. Hibs current no. 1 is 38-year old David Marshall.

This fee, however small, should go towards Holden’s transfer budget, which will now need to include a ‘keeper.
