Seen thing on FB, apparently he’s no renewing his contract.

Have a feeling he'll end up at Celtic
Macy looks a good keeper from what little we've seen. If Rocky does go he has to be a top choice as a replacement.Thought this would happen as no way Macey at 26 was coming up here as just back up.
Think he will be our keeper next season.Macy looks a good keeper from what little we've seen. If Rocky does go he has to be a top choice as a replacement.
They may have someone else in mind, and maybe they will think Dabrowski is now ready to make the step up. It will be interesting to see what happens. I can't see us spending a significant transfer fee in the summer on a new goalkeeper. Might be wrong though..
Read a lot of fans on here and dot.net saying he's best keeper since Leighton. Ironic really given both were/are what were described as "for the camera" shot-stoppers. Rocky is a competent keeper but given his age and record the SPL will likely be the pinnacle of his career. Hes played in Israel for the bulk of his time, out on loan for a season in the Belgiun league, then straight out again on loan to Hibs (before he signed with us) If he was as good as he and others think he would still be in Belgium. He is more likely to end up in Glasgow or lower leagues in England. Can't blame him looking for a move given potential life changing money away from Hibs but first pick at an EPL club? Leave it out. He may live to regret leaving the Hibees. Another who will be shuffled into the memory banks but I will immediately recall an overweight irishman, long after Rocky. Wish him and his family well nonetheless.I think most Hibs fans would have realised his departure this summer was going to be inevitable. He is 31 years old, a full internationalist, and has been at Hibs for five years. It's time for him to move on and get his last big contract.
As I said earlier, for me he has been a superb goalkeeper for Hibs, and IMO the best one we have had since Jim Leighton in the early 90's. He has his faults...so does every goalkeeper. We are never going to have a goalkeeper who does everything right all the time and never makes any mistakes. We done really well to get him in the first place and our former manager Neil Lennon deserves credit for bringing him to the club. Good luck to him in the future when he leaves. Just help us get into Europe before you go Rocky.
The question is now who will be our number 1 for next season and beyond. I have a feeling Matt Macey was brought to the club in January because they knew in their heart of hearts that Rocky was not going sign a new deal and would be moving on in the summer. He arrives with a good pedigree and he will have benefitted from having played a few games in January and having six months to get used to the squad, the goalkeeping coaches etc. I suppose it all comes down to whatever wages we can offer him and if they are acceptable.

Leighton came after Goram.Read a lot of fans on here and dot.net saying he's best keeper since Leighton. Ironic really given both were/are what were described as "for the camera" shot-stoppers.

PS Why Leighton? Goram was outstanding in a Hibs shirt.
Probably about as far away from an accurate description of Jim Leighton as you can get.Read a lot of fans on here and dot.net saying he's best keeper since Leighton. Ironic really given both were/are what were described as "for the camera" shot-stoppers.
Maybe be swayed by European football? We surely only need another 2-3 wins now to cement 3rd but you never know with Hibs. Can't see Aberdeen winning all 6 remaining games.One of our best keepers in a long time, will be missed massively, I also hear Mackey wants back to England which is a real kick in the stanes if true as good keepers are hard to come by.

We should have kept Bogdan. Kept Marciano out of the team on merit.Rocky has been honest and let Hibs know he won’t be signing a new deal, I am sure he will have offers he is a very good keeper, but to also lose Macey at the same time is a huge kick in the balls, I know the young Polish keeper is rated but me personally would have Macey as our No 1 and the Polish kid is the number 2 if he is ready

Doesn't look as though he's never got off the bench for Ferencváros apart from a couple of cup games in the early rounds.We should have kept Bogdan. Kept Marciano out of the team on merit.
