Hibernian have signed Callum Wright on a three-year deal.

The 26-year-old midfielder was a free agent after leaving Plymouth Argyle.

Last season, he was on loan at Wigan, where he made 15 goal contributions in 49 appearances.

Wright was integral to Plymouth's 2022/23 League One title win and EFL Trophy runners-up finish.

He has also made 56 Championship appearances, scoring once and assisting once.

Wright will reunite with former Wigan teammate Jason Kerr, who recently joined Hibs.

Head coach David Gray said: "We’re delighted Callum has committed his future to the club and we can’t wait for him to get started.

"He has all the traits you want in a midfielder; high energy, excellent work-rate, creativity, and an eye for goal.

"He is coming off the back of a very impressive season at Wigan and it is extremely beneficial that he has arrived with a full pre-season ahead of him and a good opportunity to gel with the group."

Sporting director Malky Mackay added: "Callum is a player who attracted a lot of interest from various clubs, so we are delighted to get this deal over the line at the beginning of the window.

"He is exactly the type of character that we want to bring into the building, and he has fantastic attributes as a player as well.

"He knows what it takes to win and he has a brilliant work ethic and willingness to do well.

"We welcome him and his family to Hibernian and look forward to seeing him out on the pitch."

Wright is Hibernian's second summer signing.
