HIBS SIGN GIANT KEEPER
HIBERNIAN have signed Canadian goalkeeper Mike Franks on a three-month deal as cover for first choice Nick Colgan.
The 23-year-old has spent three seasons at PSV Eindhoven but will move to Easter Road on a free transfer after not figuring in any games for the Dutch side.
Although signed as cover, Hibs boss Alex McLeish is hoping that the Canadian international can push Colgan (pictured) for a first team place.
"Mike looks a very capable keeper and we are looking for him to challenge for a first-team place," said McLeish.
The giant shot-stopper, who stands at six feet five inches, had originally been linked with a move to Hibs when he went to Easter Road on a two-week trial.
He completed this trial successfully and this deal comes as a result of his impressive performances.
