Hibernian winger Demetri Mitchell has left the club to join English League One side Exeter City.

The 26-year-old former Hearts loanee moves south of the border for an undisclosed fee.

Hibs fans have been waiting for news on two other departures from Easter Road, with Ryan Porteous rumoured to be heading to Watford and Kevin Nisbet also supposedly destined for a London based Championship club - Millwall.

But for now it's Mitchell, who has made 10 appearances for the club since joining a year ago, who heads for the exit.

He scored two goals for the Club, which came against Livingston in the league and Arbroath in the Scottish Cup.

Hibernian FC Manager Lee Johnson commented: “This is a good move for Demi as it gives him the opportunity to play regular football again.

“We’d like to thank him for his hard work and wish him all the best for the future.”
