Hibs’ fans have taken to social media to express their dismay at the news that Efe Ambrose has left the club and to wish him well for the future.

The 30-year-old centre-back has invoked a clause in his contract that allows him to leave Easter Road this month having indicated a desire to pursue an opportunity elsewhere.

He  originally moved to Hibs on loan from Celtic in February 2017 on a two-year deal and has since acquired a British passport whilst helping the club to a top four finish and qualification for Europe.Astatement on the club website reads: “A popular figure with players, staff and supporters alike, the club made every effort to keep Efe but respect his decision and thank him for his contribution. He leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Hibernian.
