Runar Hauge completes Hibs move from Bodø/Glimt as Steve Kean tells fans what to expect from winger

Hibs have completed the signing of Runar Hauge from Bodø/Glimt.

The 20-year-old has penned a three-and-a-half-year deal, running until the summer of 2025.

Hauge is the second signing from the Norwegian champions, following the addition of Elias Melkersen earlier this month.

He is the younger brother of AC Milan winger Jens Petter Hauge, who is currently on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Hauge will initially join the Hibs development squad, before progressing into the first team.

Academy director Steve Kean said: "When the fans get to see him, they will see someone with incredible pace. He can play wide left, wide right and he can play as a 10.

"He is a set-piece specialist who is incredibly good in one-on-on situations.

"He likes to get at players and uses his pace to get past players.

"He has added assists to his game as well, he can spot a final pass and is a player that will definitely get the fans off their seats.

"He is something that we have been missing in the academy recently, so we are looking forward to seeing him feature in the development squad games initially.

"We are absolutely delighted to have him in the building.

"We feel that Hibs is the perfect club for him to come and develop his talents."
