Hibs are closing in on the appointment of a new chief executive with Ben Kensell set to take the role.
The former Norwich City man left the club last month and it’s believed he will replace Leeann Dempster at Easter Road.
Hibs have been on the lookout for a new chief executive after Dempster left for new challenges and subsequently joined Queen’s Park.
And now the Daily Record report that Kensell will join up with the club in the coming days with a deal close to being announced.
Kensell was at Norwich for seven years and worked his way up from the commercial team to the chief operating officer.
He also had spells with Arsenal and Charlton and was widely praised by Delia Smith when he decided to leave.
She said: “We are very sad that Ben has decided to move on. He has made an outstanding contribution to restructuring the club.
“He has also transformed our commercial activities and is highly regarded by all who have worked with him - staff, supporters and sponsors.
“We and the board owe him our heartfelt gratitude and wish him every success in his next venture.”
