Hibernian striker Kevin Nisbet completes £2million Championship switch

HIBERNIAN striker Kevin Nisbet has completed a £2million switch to Championship outfit Millwall.

The 26-year-old passed his medical at The Den on Saturday and has now finalised a move to bring an end to his Easter Road career.

Nisbet has put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract with Millwall and will have the option of an extra term come the summer of 2026.

The £2million fee includes add-ons for a player that has been an integral part of the Hibernian squad over the past three seasons.

Nisbet opted against making a move to Millwall during the January transfer window as he decided to remain in Edinburgh and help Lee Johnson's side during the second half of the season.

But he has now completed a switch to the Championship promotion hopefuls as boss Gary Rowett has seen off competition from a host of English rivals.

Nisbet scored 12 goals in 20 appearances for Hibernian this season and attracted interest from the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City as well as Turkish giants Galatasaray.

Nisbet said: "Delighted finally to get to Millwall.They made it clear I was their number one target and I am honoured by that. 

"It’s my intention to do everything I can to help Millwall improve their position next season.

"I’d like to thank the gaffer, Gary Rowett, and Millwall’s director of football Alex Aldridge for their faith and determination but I should also thank Shaun Maloney, who as Hibs manager, made sure I got the best possible medical treatment last year when I was injured.

"Hibs fans have also been really supportive and I hope to have a similar bond with Millwall’s fans.

"My representative Nicky Nicholson, has also been great and made this move go through smoothly."
