Out-of-contract midfielder makes SPL return

Hibernian have signed ex-Celtic and Manchester United midfielder Liam Miller on a two-year contract. The Republic of Ireland international was a free agent after being released by QPR in May and becomes John Hughes' sixth signing since taking over as Hibs boss this summer. Miller, 28, began his career at Celtic and had spells with United and Sunderland before signing a short-term deal with QPR in January. "I am delighted that we have secured the services of a player with the experience and qualities of Liam Miller," Hughes told his club's official website.

Good addition

"I said at the end of the transfer window that we would not stop looking for the type of player we felt would enhance our squad, and I don't think there is any doubt that Liam will do that. "When you look at the clubs Liam has played for, you know that he is a footballer of real quality, and at 28 years old is at an age where his best years are still ahead of him." Miller made 13 appearances in the Championship for QPR at the end of last season and will be looking to get back into the Republic of Ireland squad having not made an international appearance since September 2008. "I am excited about joining Hibernian and have been very impressed with the set-up at the training centre and within the club," he said. "I'm really looking forward to playing football in Scotland again, and can't wait to start training with the boys and competing for a place in the team."
