Craig Leaves Hibernian

Hibernian have today confirmed that midfielder Liam Craig has now left Easter Road.

The 28 year old moved to the club in the summer of 2013 from St Johnstone, skippering the side for a year and a half.

Having made 74 appearances for the club, he leaves us having scored 12 goals.

Speaking to the Official Site with his departure now official, he explained that he had always wanted to end his time with us on a high by gaining promotion this year but sadly that wasn’t to be.

‘Naturally I`m disappointed to leave Hibernian, but I would like to wish everybody associated with the club all the best for the future. The reaction from the crowd at the end of Saturday`s game was absolutely magnificent and I believe Hibernian will now build on the progress made over the course of the season. I always wanted to finish on a high at Hibs, but unfortunately that wasn`t to be, nevertheless it`s a special club with great supporters and I was very proud to captain the team.’

Craig goes on to say he feels he leaves the club in a good place, with solid foundations, a good dressing room, team and coaching staff and he wishes us every success moving forward and he feels our chances of that next season will be good.

Head Alan Stubbs for his part, thanked Craig for his service and his performances this year, wishing him well for the future.

‘I would like to thank Liam for everything he has done for the football club – he is a model professional and has been a great ambassador for Hibernian. His contribution over the season was appreciated and we wish him all the best as he embarks on the next chapter in his career.’
