Hibernian have signed Australian international Mark Milligan on a two-year deal, subject to him securing a work permit.

The midfielder, who can also operate in the centre of defence, has 71 caps for the Socceroos and played in all three games for his country at the World Cup in Russia.

The move to Easter Road will see the 33-year-old play in Europe for the first time.

Milligan was most recently at Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, who he joined from Australian side Melbourne Victory.

He said: "I am delighted to have joined Hibernian.

"I know it's a big club with an exciting young squad, and I hope to be able to add to that with my experience.

"Jamie (Maclaren) obviously did well here last year and gave Hibs a bit of a profile back home - everyone there is pretty familiar with the Scottish game and I'm excited to now be a part of that.

"The team have had a good start to the season with the run in Europe and I'm looking forward to joining up with the squad and getting going."

Meanwhile, Hibs have now secured a work permit for Thomas Agyepong, who will be available for selection against Ross County on Sunday.
