Hibs confirm signing of Scotland penalty hero David Marshall
The 37-year-old goalkeeper has agreed a move to Easter Road
Hibs have confirmed Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall will return to the Scottish top flight this summer after signing a pre-contract with the Easter Road club.
The 37-year-old is best known for saving a penalty in the national side's Euro 2020 play-off against Serbia in Belgrade - ending the long wait for a Scottish team at a men's international tournament.
He has 47 Scotland caps and more than 500 appearances in the club game north and south of the border, most recently representing Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship.
The goalie has agreed a two-year deal with Hibs.
New Hibs Manager, Lee Johnson, said: âIâd like to offer David a very warm welcome. Heâs an excellent goalkeeper and actually a player that Iâve tried to sign before.
âHis experience will be invaluable for us both on and off the pitch. Itâs vital that our senior players arenât just great characters, but also help us set the standard around the training ground and on matchdays.
âHe is a fantastic addition to this squad, and Iâm looking forward to working with him.â
Head of Recruitment, Ian Gordon, said: âWe have a young, talented, ambitious team, but we know that if we want to be successful, we need to have a good balance in terms of experience and leadership, and David Marshall fits that mould perfectly.
âHe is a real professional, who will push on the other âkeepers and really help accelerate the development of our younger goalkeepers like Murray Johnson.â
