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.
