Alex Gogic's first words after completing Hibs transfer

New signing Alex Gogic says he turned down offers from around Europe in favour of a move to Hibs.

The 26-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Easter Road club after leaving Premiership side Hamilton.

Gogic becomes the Edinburgh club's third signing of the day after the additions of Drey Wright and Kevin Nisbet.

And the former Accies star insists the size of club Hibs is made the decision a straightforward one despite interest from other clubs.

He told Hibs' official website : "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."

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."
