Jamie Insall has agreed a three year deal with Hibs following a prolific spell in English non-league football where he scored 42 goals last season.
Now the 22 year old former Kidderminster Harriers’ youth team player says he is delighted to have secured a move north after impressing during a month’s trial.
Speaking to hibernianfc.co.uk, Insall said: “This is a great move for me – I’m absolutely delighted to have been given the chance to sign for Hibs.
“My aim now is to repay the faith that the manager has shown in me working hard, developing my game and ultimately helping the first team by scoring goals.
“It’s a big step up, but I’ve waited a long time for my opportunity step up to full time football and I’m determined to make the most of it by doing everything I can to succeed.
“Playing in non-league football down south has given me a good grounding and, although I’m still quite raw, I’ve got a real hunger to kick on and make the most of my chance here at Hibs.”
Head Coach Alan Stubbs said: “We’re pleased to have Jamie signed up for the next few years.
“Jamie has impressed on trial and he’s earned his chance at taking the step up to professional football.
“We feel he’s got the potential to succeed at the Club and he now has the opportunity to work hard and develop his game with us.”
The move is subject to international clearance.
