Hibs defender Francis Dickoh looks set to be the next player heading for the Easter Road exit door.

 

The 28-year-old Ghanian international arrived in Leith last summer from Dutch side FC Utrecht on a bosman deal until the end of the season.

Dickoh has gone on to play 31 games for the Hibees, but according to his agent, it looks like he has played his last.

His agent Michael Johansen has stated that Hibs have refused Dickoh a wage rise, he said:

"Francis has been very happy at Hibs but he also needs to look at the financial situation.

"He took a pay cut to go to Hibs and the issue for him is the salary. We've talked to the people at Hibs. They are looking after the club and not doing anything stupid financially. It's going to be difficult for Hibs to come up with the right offer."

Hibs have already released 11 players, with a further 5 still in negotiations over contracts, but it looks like Dickoh will join the ever growing list of players heading out of the Easter Road exit.

Derek Riordan also looks set to leave, with Liam Miller, Graham Stack and Ricardo Vaz Te still having talks with the club.

Colin Nish, John Rankin, Valdas Trakys, Kurtis Byrne, Thomas Flynn, Ewan Moyes, Kevin McBride, Steven Thicot, Kevin McCann and on loan players Darryl Duffy and Ritchie Towell have all recently left the club.
