Hibernian have completed the signing of Canada international Junior Hoilett.
The 34-year-old has signed a one-year contract at the Easter Road club.
The attacker spent the second half of last season at Aberdeen, initially signing for Neil Warnock before his premature departure in early March.
A deal could not be agreed with the Pittodrie outfit, and so Hibs looked to make their offer to the highly-experienced winger.

Hoilett has made over 500 career appearances, and has been capped 63 times by his country.
He played for Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League before also turning out for QPR and Cardiff City in England's top flight.
On the signing of Hoilett, David Gray said: “Junior is someone who has been on our radar, especially after his positive end to the season with Aberdeen.
“Throughout his career he’s played at a very high level and adapted well to Scottish football last season. He adds extra options and quality to the final third, alongside leadership and experience to the dressing room. We look forward to working with him.”
Hibs' Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “We’re really pleased to bring someone of Junior’s calibre, personality and ability to the Club. We’ve been working hard to strengthen our attacking options, and Junior gives David extra flexibility in those areas.
“Not only will Junior help add quality to the group, he will also be able to share his experience and help support the talented young forwards in the squad.
“Finally, he is a great character, a top professional and another good person to have around the building and in the dressing room.”
