Hibernian youngster Paddy Martin has joined Stenhousemuir on a loan deal until January.
The 21-year-old will link up with Easter Road prospects Jayden Fairley and Callum Yeats at Ochilview as cover for former Hibs stopper Graeme Smith.
Martin is yet to make a first team debut for the men in green and white but has had two previous loan spells at Gala Fairydean Rovers in the Lowland League.
The stopper is likely to be back up to reserve keeper Calum Erskine, who is expected to stand in for Smith after he sustained a knee injury in the 2-2 draw with Stirling Albion last weekend.
Stenny boss Davie Irons said: “We are really happy to have been able to bring Paddy into the club. We believe he has the potential and is at the right stage in his development to do well for the club over the next two months.
"The reports we have had on him are very positive and we look forward to working with him. I would like to thank Hibs for working with us to get this one over the line quickly."
Teammates Fairley and Yeats linked up with the League Two side on transfer deadline day, with teenage defender Yeats making four appearances for the Warriors so far.
Fairley has been limited to two appearances from the bench.
Hibs sporting director Graeme Mathie said: “This is a great opportunity for Paddy to play competitive matches in League Two.
Both Callum and Jayden have spoken very highly of their loan spells at Stenhousemuir this season, so we are delighted to have another young player there to aid their football development.”
