Hibs complete Lewis Miller transfer as highly-rated Australian pens three-year deal at Easter Road

Hibs have continued their summer recruitment drive with the addition of Lewis Miller.

The 21-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal, with the club having the option to extend for a further season.

Despite turning out for Central Coast Mariners during the 2021/22 campaign, the defender will join Hibs from Australian side MacArthur FC on July 1.

Miller is on international duty with the Socceroos' Under-23 side and has five caps for the young Aussies.

The athletic right-back can also operate on the left-hand side.

On his arrival, manager Lee Johnson told Hibs' official website: “I’m delighted the club have managed to secure Lewis. We have secured his services amongst fierce competition from interested parties in Scotland and across the globe.

“Lewis is a real competitor in his game style and is blessed with the physical and technical attributes to seamlessly fit into the way we work.

“Credit must go to Lewis also, as he decided to join Hibs for the right reasons. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in a Hibs shirt.”

Head of Recruitment, Ian Gordon, added: “A lot of work has gone into bringing Lewis to the club. He’s someone that really impressed in the A-League last season.

“This highlights our strategy of securing young, exciting talent from around the world and how we’re expanding our scouting network globally.

“The terms of this deal made it a no-brainer for us, as he has the attributes to fit into Lee Johnson’s system.”
