Hibs sign Clancy

Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon has made his first signing of the summer, landing defender Tim Clancy on a two-year contract.

The 28-year-old arrives at Easter Road under freedom of contract, having been at Motherwell last season, and can operate in any position across the back four, though Fenlon thinks his fellow Irishman's best position is at right-back. "His versatility will be a major plus for us and so will his attitude and application," said the manager. Clancy, who moved to Fir Park from Kilmarnock last summer, rejected the offer a new deal at Motherwell after helping the Lanarkshire club finish third in the Scottish Premier League.
