Former Hearts player Demetri Mitchell has agreed a permanent transfer to Hibs.

The 25-year-old - who's played at full-back and on the wing - spent two spells on loan at Tynecastle from Mancherster United.

He's signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the Hibees, joining from English side Blackpool for an undisclosed fee.

Mitchell has featured for England at several youth age group levels.

Hibs manager Shaun Maloney said: “I’m delighted to sign Demetri. He brings excellent attributes in different positions and will help us in both attacking and defensive situations.

“As a player, he brings real technical quality and outstanding speed, particularly in one vs one situations. My staff and I look forward to working with him.”
