Hamilton Academical have completed the signing of Hibs midfielder Scott Martin on a two-year-deal.
The 21-year-old moves to Accies after spending 11 years at Easter Road, moving progressing the ranks since joining the club’s academy in 2007.
Martin made 15 first team appearances for Hibees after making his debut against Falkirk in 2014, scoring once.
Two loan spells at Angus outfits Forfar Athletic and Abroath respectively afforded the former Scotland Under 19 international first team experience.
Martin especially impressed at Gayfield after making the temporary switch last November, to the extent that he was voted The Lichties’ Young Player of the Year for the 207/18 season.
He also picked up silverware in green and white, helping the Wee Hibees to lift the Scottish Youth Cup with a 3-1 victory over Aberdeen at Hampden back in April.
I’ve been at Hibs for 10 years loved every minute of it,” said Martin. “I can’t thank the club enough for everything they have done for me and I wish the lads all the best for the rest of the season."
Accies boss Martin Canning was happy with Martin’s addition, saying: “Scott is an all action, energetic midfield player. His playing style, coupled with the type of character he is, makes him a good fit for the club.’’
