Allan Delferrière has signed for Hibs

Hibs have announced the signing of rising Standard Liege star Allan Delferrière until 2024 with an option to extend for a further season.


Former Belgian assistant Shaun Maloney is aware of the 19-year-old's talent and he will go straight into the club's development squad.


Hibs enjoyed a busy window with the signings of Elias Melkerson, Ewan Henderson, Harry Clarke ,Rocky Bushiri, Chris Mueller, Demitri Mitchell, Runar Hauge and Sylvester Jasper.


Those new faces have been offset by the departure of Martin Boyle but the incoming defender is viewed as one for the future for the Premiership side.

Speaking on the club's website, Kean said: “Bringing Allan on board shows we are not only looking domestically to bring in players, but we are also exploring different markets. We have seen lads coming from Norway, we have now signed a player who has played several times for Standard Liège.

“He has great versatility; he can play as centre-back in a back-four or in a back-three. He can play full back or in a defensive midfield role too. He is coming from a country that has a good reputation of developing players.

“We don’t have anyone of his age and experience in our system at the moment. It will take him a couple of weeks to adapt to the city, but he brings an energy and enthusiasm to get better. Everyone in the development team has one focus, that is to get better and push to get into the First Team as early as they can.”
