Scottish Premiership club, Hibernian have announced the signing of former Flying Eagles defender, Marvin Ekpiteta.

Ekpiteta joined Hibs on a three-year contract following the expiration of his contract with English League One side Blackpool.

“Marvin is someone I look forward to working with. He has great experience at a good level in England and adds extra leadership to the dressing room, ” manager David Gray told the club’s official website.

“Physically, he has all the attributes that fit the demands of Scottish football; he’s big, strong, dominant, very athletic, and will be an asset in both boxes. We’re really pleased to bring him to the Club.”

Sporting Director Malky Mackay commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Marvin to Hibernian FC as we continue to improve our squad.

“Like Warren O’Hora, Marvin is another player who has been a captain and a leader within First Team groups. He is a real defender with a lot of experience, and I look forward to seeing him in action.”
