Hibernian have signed Republic of Ireland international Daryl Horgan from Preston North End for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old winger has agreed a three-year contract with the Edinburgh club and could make his debut in Sunday's Scottish Premiership game at St Johnstone.

"He's one we've been keen on for a long time and it's a real coup to get him over the line," said Hibs boss Neil Lennon.

"Daryl will give us a real threat going forward and some strength out wide - we had been looking to add in that area and I'm delighted with the options we now have.

"He has power and pace and will hopefully give us another dimension to our play in the final third."

"I'm ready to play and looking forward to trying to break into the team."
