Last updated : 30 May 2017 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have this morning confirmed the signing of Dundee Utd forward Simon Murray.

The 25-year-old, who scored 18 times for the Tannadice club last season, has signed a 2-year-deal at Easter Road.

Hibs boss Neil Lennon, speaking to the official club website said:

“Simon is a great player, one who enjoyed a personally solid season with Dundee United, and it is pleasing to bring someone of his calibre to the club.

“He’s strong, he’s quick with a good turn of pace, plus he knows how to find the back of the net. He has fantastic attributes and a real hunger to continue to improve as well – I’m delighted to have secured his services for next season.

“With the players who have renewed and Danny Swanson coming in as well, I believe we are moving in the right direction with our recruitment, and that process is still ongoing to ensure we have as strong a squad as possible for the club’s return to the top flight.”

Welcome to the Hibees Simon!
