Millwall sign Kevin Nisbet on three-year deal from Hibernian

Kevin Nisbet has joined English Championship side Millwall on a three-year deal.

The Lions have reportedly splashed out £2 million to secure the Scotland international, who hails from Cambuslang, five months after he pulled out a deal to join them in the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old has penned a three-year contract which includes the option for a further year.

It puts an end to a long-running saga that has seen the striker twice on the cusp of a move away from Scotland.

In 2021, he was on the verge of joining Birmingham City but Hibs refused to accept an offer in the region of £3m for their star man and earlier this year Nisbet decided against joining Millwall as he felt the time wasn't right for him.

Now, however, he has made that leap ahead of joining up with the Scotland squad for next week's Euro 2024 qualifiers with Norway and Georgia.

Hibernian confirmed the move this afternoon.

Hibernian FC Chief Executive Ben Kensell said: “After deciding to stay in January, Kevin informed us that he wanted to leave the Football Club this summer, which we understood. Following those discussions, we had to ensure we got the best possible deal for him.

“We’re happy with the fee we received, and we wish him all the best for the future with Millwall.”

Hibs Manager Lee Johnson added: “We’re disappointed to lose Nizzy after he did so well for us on his return but understand that he wanted to go on a new adventure down south.

“Although he will be missed, this presents a new opportunity for someone else to step into that role.

“We thank him for his contribution and wish him all the best in England.”
