Hibs strengthen 'position of importance' by signing Broadrick

Hibernian have strengthened a "position of importance", says head coach Joelle Murray, by signing Jess Broadrick after the 22-year-old's Aberdeen exit.

The former Scotland youth international, who made over 150 appearances for Hibs' SWPL rivals, has signed a two-year contract.

"Jess' profile matched exactly what we were looking for," Murray said.

"As we looked to strengthen our squad, adding quality and depth in central defence was identified as a position of importance.

"We believe Jess is someone who still has plenty of potential to unlock."

Broadrick added: "Hibs is a great club, with a lot of history, and the players have a tenacious attitude about them. They always want to win.

"Being alongside some of those players will help me improve as a person. That's what I want to do."
