Rocky Bushiri seals Hibs transfer as Shaun Maloney revolution continues thanks to Belgian inside knowledge

Rocky Bushiri has officially become Hibs ' fourth signing of the transfer window as he joins from Norwich City on loan with an option to buy.

New boss Shaun Maloney has wasted no time in reshaping the squad at Easter Road, with the capital club focusing on young players.

Elias Melkerson, Ewan Henderson and Harry Clarke have already arrived this month, and centre-back Bushiri has now officially completed his move.

Maloney is well acquainted with the Norwich defender after his work with the Belgian national team, with the 22-year-old capped seven times by the Under-21s.

Hibs will have the option to make his move permanent at the end of the season and the manager told fans what they can expect from their new signing.

Maloney said: "Rocky is a talented young player who will offer us real versatility in different defensive positions.

“Technically, he is very good in possession, and he shows good aggression and speed in defensive actions.

“Along with all the staff, I am really looking forward to working with him and helping him adapt to a new league and our style of play.”

Bushiri was the youngest ever debutant for KV Oostende, with his performances catching the eye of Norwich.

However, he has yet to play a competitive match for the English Premier League strugglers.
