Hibs sign Simon Murray on two-year deal
Simon Murray will join Hibernian on a two-year deal after the expiry of his contract with Dundee United, the Easter Road club have confirmed.
The 25-year-old attacker scored 18 times for the Tannadice men in a season which ended with the Ladbrokes Premiership play-off final defeat to Hamilton.
He leaves as a free agent under freedom of contract and Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon is thrilled to have added the striker - son of ex-Hibs player Gary - ahead of next season's return to the top flight.
Lennon, whose side were promoted after winning the Championship, told the club's official website: "Simon is a great player, one who enjoyed a personally solid season with Dundee United, and it is pleasing to bring someone of his calibre to the club.
"He's strong, he's quick with a good turn of pace, plus he knows how to find the back of the net.
"He has fantastic attributes and a real hunger to continue to improve as well - I'm delighted to have secured his services for next season.
"With the players who have renewed and Danny Swanson coming in as well, I believe we are moving in the right direction with our recruitment, and that process is still ongoing to ensure we have as strong a squad as possible for the club's return to the top flight."
