Hibernian has confirmed the season-long loan signing of 20-year-old centre-half Will Fish from Manchester United, with a review scheduled for January 2024.

Last season, Fish made a notable impact on the Hibernian team, making 21 appearances and forming a strong defensive partnership with Club Captain Paul Hanlon.

Not only did Fish display a solid defensive performance, but he also contributed three goals.

Over the off-season, Fish trained with Manchester United’s First Team under the guidance of Erik ten Hag to prepare for the new campaign.

Hibernian manager Lee Johnson expressed his delight at Fish's return.

"We’re delighted to get this deal over the line and bring Will back to the club," Johnson said.

He further acknowledged Fish's talent, stating, "During his first season with us he showed that he is a player with real quality, and he adds composure and consistency to our back-line."

He concluded, "Everyone at the club is looking forward to working with Will again and having him around the building."
