Nectarios Triantis holds 'positive' Hibs transfer talks as David Gray provides Rocky Bushiri update
Leith fans are desperate to see the Aussie sign on a permanent transfer after helping drive them to third place last season Hibs head coach David Gray insists talks to sign Sunderland star Nectatrios Triantis on a permanent deal are progressing well. The versatile Aussie midfielder initially arrived in second half of the 2023/24 campaign but it was last season that the 22-year-old really found his groove, scoring three times in 28 matches in all competitions to help the Hibees claim a third place finish in the Premiership. Gray has already bolstered his squad this summer with the arrivals of Jamie McGrath on a free transfer from league rivals Aberdeen and the capture of Austrian goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger. But fans in the capital will be desperate to see Triantis - who was nominated for the SWFA Player of the Year last month - return despite Sunderland 's promotion back to the Premier League and Gray reveals that 'positive talks' are ongoing. The former Easter Road captain also says they remain hopeful of tying down out of contract defender Rocky Bushiri to a new deal. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "He is another one who had a fantastic season. You seen how much he improved last year, playing week-in, week out. "His parent club have just got promoted to the Premier League and their are conversations going on. "Clearly he was a big part of what we done last year and it is a position that we are going to need to fill. "There is conversations going on there that are positive at the minute but you always need to be proactive and making sure that you are trying to get your work in as early as you can." "Rocky is someone who clearly had a fantastic season last year. "His season got prolonged because he had to go away with his national team but positive talks are happening all the time. "We are trying to get something done there and we'll just have to wait and see how it pans out in the next few days." Hibs have banked £900,000 from the sale of forward Dylan Vente to Heerenveen and Gray knows they still have work to do on the recruitment front across the board with next month's Europa League second round qualifier with FC Midtjylland on the horizon. "The support we have had (from the board) has been incredible and will continue to be there. "We know we need to do work in the window and we are working hard to do that. "It's about making sure we get the right people in to add to the good group we have already got.

Is ‘North Shore' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
North Shore , the Aussie crime show, grabbed viewers with its juicy murder plot and sweet Sydney Harbour scenery. You've got Joanne Froggatt as Abigail Crawford, a tough UK Trade Minister, and John Bradley as Detective Max Drummond, a Brit cop teaming up with an Aussie partner to crack the case of Abigail's daughter Sophie's death. Since it dropped on Network 10 in Australia in May 2023 and hit ITVX in the UK in December 2024, fans are dying to know: Is Season 2 happening? Here's everything we know so far. Is North Shore Season 2 Happening? As of June 2025, Network 10 and Paramount+ haven't said yes or no to North Shore Season 2. There's a glimmer of hope, though. Back in August 2023, the Nilsen Report claimed filming was set to start in Sydney that October, with Beach Road Pictures, ITV Studios, and Screen Australia in the mix. But no one's followed up with hard news, so we're left hanging, wondering if it's a go or a bust. Season 1 pulled a 6.8/10 on IMDb, and fans loved Froggatt and Bradley's chemistry, plus the crime-meets-drama vibe. Some weren't stoked about slow pacing or side characters who didn't shine, which might weigh on the decision. Until we hear more, it's all guesswork. North Shore Season 2 Potential Release Date No Season 2 confirmation means no release date yet. If that October 2023 filming rumor panned out, they might've wrapped by early 2024. Going by how long Season 1 took, we could see new episodes by late 2025 or early 2026. North Shore Season 2 Potential Plot Season 1 dug into Sophie's murder, with Max and Aussie cop Meg Driscoll (Kirsty Sturgess) unraveling political dirt and dark secrets. It tied up the main case but left some questions. No official plot for Season 2 yet, but here's what might go down: New Case, Same Duo: Max and Meg, with their Brit-Aussie banter, could tackle another Sydney murder, maybe tied to some shady international deal. Old Clues: Season 1 dropped hints about dodgy businessman Lloyd Macklin and a mystery caller tipping off Max and Abigail. Those could spark a new mess. Real Feelings: Abigail's still hurting from her loss, and Max's got issues with his partner, Anna, which could add depth to a fresh case. Mike Bullen, who made Cold Feet , knows how to blend grit and heart, so expect any new season to pack a punch. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

The Aussie is set to miss his third Wimbledon in a row, having struggled with persistent knee and wrist injuries. Kyrgios' last match at the All-England Club was the 2022 final, in which he lost to Novak Djokovic in four sets. Eubanks' best run at Wimbledon came in the following year, when he stunned the likes of Cameron Norrie and Stefanos Tsitsipas before losing in five sets to Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals.

"I understand they've got Chris Eubanks but he hasn't beaten the greatest of all time multiple times. "When someone's beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it's very strange you wouldn't want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans." In addition to working for the BBC at Wimbledon, Kyrgios has also appeared on Tennis Channel's coverage of the sport in the United States.

The former Australian Open men's doubles champion said: "I'm sure our paths will cross again. I only ever want to add humour, some knowledge and some great atmosphere." Due to injuries, Kyrgios has played just six singles matches since October 2022. The crowd entertainer last played in Miami in March, losing to Karen Khachanov in the second round. Despite his uncertain status, having since pulled out of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Kyrgios is determined to resume playing during the US hard court swing, culminating in a first appearance at Flushing Meadows in three years. He added: "Yes, for sure. I'm definitely playing the US swing and I'll take it one day at a time."
