Owen Elding

I’m optimistic about this signing - young, looks solidly built and should be very close to match-fit. Looking forward to seeing him play soon.
 
By contrast, Elding has hit the ground running after leaving Sligo Rovers for Hibs in January for an initial €450,000.
His early strike against Kilmarnock is his third for the Edinburgh club in seven appearances with three of those outings coming after the bench.
English born Elding – the son of 2013 FAI Cup hero Anthony - was raised in Ireland and is in the process of securing his papers to play for Ireland with Jim Crawford keen to use him in the U-21 squad.
While the size of his up-front fee was a source of disquiet relative to the Melia and €2m Victor Ozhianvuna (Shamrock Rovers to Arsenal) deals, the Bit’O'Red are poised to receive significant add-ons and hold a sell-on clause.

Carry on performing like he has and Sligo Rovers will deservedly benefit from add-ons and sell ons. Win win for all. Brilliant signing for us on performances so far.
