Hibs after Motherwell's Steven Hammell?

It's been reported in the press today that Hibs could make an approach for Motherwell full back Steven Hammell at the end of the season.

It is thought that Hibs boss Tony Mowbray is a huge admirer of 24 year old Hammell and that he is keen to get him on board.

Hammell could be secured for nothing at the end of the season on a bosman.

Hibs however will face competition from Celtic, Aberdeen (Who have already offered him a pre-contract) and several English Championship sides.

This could however spell the end of Stephen Glass at Easter Road and with Hibs current left back David Murphy, not likely to loose his place because of his awesome form over the past two seasons, it's more likely he would be brought in as cover for left back or used in midfield.

Hammell would be a cracking signing, but the loss of Glass would be a HUGE loss to the club.
