Hibs sign Norwegian winger Runar Hauge
Hibernian have completed another signing ahead of Monday's midnight deadline
Hibernian have signed Bodø/Glimt winger Runar Hauge.
The 20-year old becomes their second signing from the Norwegian champions this window after the arrival of Elias Melkersen.
Hauge has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Easter Road outfit.
He spent last year on loan in Norway’s second-tier with IL Stjørdals/Blink, scoring three goals and grabbing two assists.
On Hauge’s arrival, academy director Steve Kean commented: “When the fans get to see him, they will see someone with incredible pace. He can play wide left, wide right and he can play as a 10.
“He is a set-piece specialist who is incredibly good in one-on-on situations. He likes to get at players and uses his pace to get past players. He has added assists to his game as well, he can spot a final pass and is a player that will definitely get the fans off their seats.
“He is something that we have been missing in the Academy recently, so we are looking forward to seeing him feature in the Development Squad games initially.
“We are absolutely delighted to have him in the building. We feel that Hibs is the perfect club for him to come and develop his talents.”
