Defender delighted with Easter Road switch

Hibernian have announced the signing of Norwich defender David Stephens Stephens has signed a three-year deal at Easter Road after Hibs agreed an undisclosed fee for the the Wales Under 19 international. The 18-year-old made just one first-team appearance for Norwich and spent three months on loan at Lincoln last season. "I am really pleased to have agreed a move to Hibernian; it is an ambitious club with top-class training facilities and a first class stadium," Stephens told the club's official website. "I'm still learning my trade at the moment, but Hibernian has a track record of promoting young players into the first team and this was a great attraction for me. "I'm confident that when I do get an opportunity I will seize my chance. I'm excited to be here and especially so given that the opening Europa League match is only a few weeks away. "It is a big move for me and I've been really impressed with the Club and with Edinburgh; it seems like a great place to live and I just want to achieve all my goals at Hibernian."
