Scotland international Grant Hanley has joined Hibernian on a two-year deal.
The experienced defender - who has 62 Scotland caps to his name - has signed up at Easter Road until the summer of 2027.
Hanley left Birmingham City upon the conclusion of the 2024/25 campaign, where he played a part in helping the Blues achieve the League One title.
It was Hanley's fourth promotion of his career, having enjoyed previous success at both Norwich City and Newcastle United in the past.

“He’s a strong, robust defender that can play in any role across our back three.
"He’s a real leader both on and off the pitch and a player of his experience will add a lot to the team. I look forward to working with him.”
Sporting director, Malky Mackay, added: “We’ve been keen to add another defender to the first team squad, and we did everything in our power to make sure that we could bring in someone of Grant Hanley’s calibre.
"He had a number of different options, but we’re delighted he saw Hibs as the right club for him.
“He’s an excellent character to add to the group, and his experience will really benefit our young players. I look forward to seeing him in Hibs' green and white.”
