Hibs have added experienced midfielder Stephen McGinn to their squad.

The 31-year-old, who is the brother of current Hibee Paul and former Easter Road favourite John, has agreed a deal until the end of the season.

He was most recently at St Mirren, where he spent three and a half years before departing in the summer.

McGinn has been training with Hibs since they began pre-season preparations.

Head coach Jack Ross told the club's website: “For me, Stephen adds a lot to the group and the environment at HTC.

“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."

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.”
