Former St Mirren skipper Stephen McGinn seals move to Hibs
The eldest McGinn sibling follows in the footsteps of brothers John and Paul with a move to Easter Road
Former St Mirren captain Stephen McGinn has joined Hibs on a contract until the end of the season.
The 31-year-old midfielder joins his brother Paul in Leith, and follows their younger sibling John, who also starred for the club before moving to Aston Villa.
Stephen has been training with Jack Ross' team since the squad returned for pre-season after being surprisingly released by Buddies boss Jim Goodwin at the end of last term.
And Ross is looking forward to utilising the former Scotland Under-21 player's experience and leadership qualities as Hibs aim to build on a positive start to the season.
He said: “For me, Stephen adds a lot to the group and the environment at the training ground.
“You can never have enough good professionals with leadership qualities and we're fortunate, as I've said repeatedly, to have a great core of those at Hibernian.”
All three McGinn brothers played for St Mirren at various stages and that feat will now be mirrored at the other end of the M8.
Stephen added: “It means a lot to me to have signed for Hibernian and it goes without saying that no-one needs to explain the size of the club to me.
“John and Paul have thrived here and it's a privilege to get the chance to play my part as well.”
