Hibs Set To Move For Grimsby Town's Rob Jones!

Last updated : 05 June 2006 By Steve Forbes


Hibs boss Tony Mowbray is set to pounce for his first summer signing, Grimsby Town's Rob Jones.

The 26-year-old centre half stands at an astonishing 6ft7in tall and it is thought Mogga is a long term admirer and that the Hibs boss is keen to add to his long term troubled defence.

Jones however is still under contract at
Grimsby and any move will demand a transfer fee, thought to be around £100,000.

Hibs could face competition from Championship side Crewe.

It is thought Jones could be a Hibby by the end of the week, but Mogga refused to comment on any speculation and would only say:-

"We hope to have some announcements to make in the following week or so"

More than one, signing this week???

Good news that we are sorting out our terrible centre of defence, now for the keepers!.
