Barnsley CEO Ben Mansford has revealed that Hibs have made a loan offer for defender Reece Brown.
Brown, 23, has been offered a loan deal at Easter Road, but apparently turned the initial offer down, but the deal has been lef on the table.
The former Watford and Ipswich defender is the brother of forme England and Manchester United defender Wes Brown, and is a former Man Utd youth himself.
Speaking to the Barnsley Chronical Ben Mansford said:
"Reece still has the option to go to Hibs.
"He has fallen down the right-back pecking order beneath James Bree, Mason Holgate and George Williams. If I was Reece, I would join Hibs and play some games."
With Brown turning down Hibs initial approach, rumours are that the player will now have his contract terminated.
Hibs are in the market for a right back after first choice David Gray went for surgery on a troublesome groin injury.
Brown started his career at Old Trafford and had a number of loan spells including Bradford, Doncaster, Oldham, Ipswich & Coventry, before moving permanently to Watford.
He then had another loan spell, this time with Carlilse United, before moving to Barnsley for an undisclosed fee last summer.
The move to Oakwell hasn't worked out, and he is free to leave if he can find a club.
