O’connor leaves Hibs for Bees
Hibs have confirmed the departure of Academy graduate Kane O’connor, who has joined English Championship side Brentford following the expiry of his Easter Road contract.
The 18- year-old centreback has signed a two-year deal with the Bees, with the option of a third year, and will join the Griffin Park side’s B team.
O’connor featured for Hibs’ Development Squad as well as captaining the Easter Road side’s Under-18 team. He signed his first professional deal in January 2017 but didn’t feature for the first team.
He has also represented Scotland at Under -16 and Under-17 level.
