Hibernian have completed the signing of Manchester City youngster Brandon Barker on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance.

The 20-year-old left winger has previously had loan spells with Rotherham and Dutch side NAC Breda, and has also represented England at youth level.

Barker said he is looking forward to repaying Hibs head coach Neil Lennon's faith in him.

He said: "It feels great and I can't wait to get playing football again. It's a great club and a great city to be in, so I'm really looking forward to it.

"The manager said that it is a good place for me to come and carry on learning my trade and that it is a great platform for me to come and show everyone what I can do.
