David Gray's side finished third in the Premiership last season with attentions now focusing on how that success can be built on. The team will return for pre season training in the weeks ahead ahead of crucial continental clashes that could clinch the club millions if a league phase spot is booked. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In the meantime, there are plenty of rumours swirling about, and those will only ramp up the further into the summer the window goes. Here are some of the latest transfer headlines that have some Hibs flavourings. Former Hibs player leaves Dundee United Glenn Middleton has departed Dundee United after rejecting a contract offer to join Doncaster Rovers. The winger spent part of 2019 on loan in Leith from Rangers and has since played for Bradford City, St Johnstone and Dundee United, shining at Tannadice and earning an extension offer at the end of his deal. He's now decided to head back down south with Doncaster. Rovers' statement reads: 'We are delighted to confirm the signing of Scottish winger Glenn Middleton. The 25-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the option of an additional 12 months, fresh from helping Dundee United to a fourth placed finish in the Scottish top flight. During his time at Ibrox, Middleton had loan spells with Hibernian, Bradford City and St Johnstone.' Manager Grant McCann said: 'I've been tracking Glenn for quite a bit - even back to my first spell here, he was a player we really liked. I'm delighted to get him. He's had a tremendous few years at Dundee United. He's been a real threat in the Scottish Premier League and he's an exciting player - really direct, quick and he can play anywhere across the front line. He's a really good person as well so I'm really pleased to get him.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Rachael Boyle's new Hibs contract Women's club captain Rachael Boyle has signed a new one-year deal. She is described as a 'prominent leader' in the dressing room and pens a contract after winning the SWPL title, looking to bounce back from an injury hit season on a personal note. Boyle said: 'I'm absolutely delighted that I'm extending my time at the club. There is no place I would rather be. I've obviously had to miss a lot of football over recent years but last season's success, and the excitement building towards the new season, just made me want to be a part of it all. I'm desperate to put injuries behind me and be ready to help the team to more success this upcoming season.' On Boyle's new contract, Women's head coach Grant Scott commented: 'Despite going through an injury-affected season, every time Rachael was involved in matches, her quality was clear for all to see. 'She's a real leader on and off the pitch and is fully deserving of this new deal. We're all hoping for an injury-free campaign and it'll be great to have her involved in her first full pre-season in a few years. That consistency will be huge for both her and the team.' SPFL transfer done deals The club have had a mention in a SPFL done deal - despite the player in question not kicking a ball in anger at Hibs. Goalkeeper David Mitchell has signed with Ayr United after time at Partick Thistle, serving as deputy at Easter Road but not playing a competitive game. Meanwhile, another former back up keeper in Scott Bain is remaining in the Premiership. He has signed for Falkirk after time at Celtic. Ayr's statement reads: 'The first new signing of the summer is experienced goalkeeper David Mitchell. He kicked off his career at Ayr and, after spells at Stranraer, Dundee, Hibs and, most recently, Partick Thistle, returns to the club on a two year deal.'

What happened to Gabby Logan's brother Daniel Yorath?
See what Gabby said in her moving tribute to her little brother GABBY Logan hails from a well-known Yorkshire family with an array of amazing achievements between them. But, seemingly out of nowhere, tragedy struck her younger brother Daniel Yorath when the MOTD presenter was just 19 years old.

The patriarch Terry Yorath is a former Welsh international footballer and manager. He played as a midfielder for clubs including Leeds United, Coventry and Spurs, and also earned 59 caps for Wales. After his playing career, Terry managed teams including Swansea and the Welsh national team. Advertisement He was also assistant manager at Bradford City during the 1985 stadium fire and was injured while helping evacuate the ground of supporters. Christine Yorath, the matriarch of the family, is a successful property developer and interior designer based in Leeds. Sudden and unexpected Gabby Logan's younger brother Daniel Yorath tragically died at the age of 15 in 1992. His death was sudden and completely unexpected, with Gabby paying tribute on the 33rd anniversary of his passing in May 2025. Advertisement Daniel Yorath was having a kick-about in the garden of his Leeds home with his dad Terry — a routine activity for the sporty family — when he suddenly collapsed and died. Having recently signed for Leeds, Daniel was believed to be exceptionally fit and healthy — there were no prior warning signs and he hadn't previously shown any symptoms of illness or heart problems. Gabby Logan says Christian Eriksen's collapse 'stirred up memories' of brother Daniel's fatal cardiac arrest at just 15 Cause of death A post-mortem examination revealed that Daniel died from undiagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a congenital heart condition. HCM is a genetic condition, the severity of which can vary greatly, that causes the heart muscle to become abnormally thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood and greatly increasing the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, especially in young athletes. Advertisement The disease can be asymptomatic and is often only discovered after a sudden death. In 2022, Gabby told BBC Wales Live: "He was playing football in the garden with my dad and he fell over. "My dad thought he just was messing about and went over and rolled him over, and he basically died on the spot — and had no previous indications whatsoever that there were any health problems at all with him. 3 Gabby's dad Terry was assistant manager at Bradford City when the stadium caught fire in 1985 Advertisement 'Like a sledgehammer' "It's like a sledgehammer coming down and sending everybody off in different directions, because it's such a catastrophic thing to happen, and no warning — and everybody responds differently." In April 2025, Gabby, who was just 19 when her younger brother died, opened up about the effect it had on her on the ainslie + ainslie Performance People podcast. She said: 'I was running around running from my grief probably and then by the end of my first year at university, so just around the time of his first anniversary I had some first year exams and it all kind of came crashing down. 'I'd stopped sleeping properly. I felt very wobbly, I just kind of lost my balance and I went to see a doctor and he gave me some sleeping tablets and I thought 'That's not what I need'.

He said 'Don't take those, that's not a good route'.' And on the 33rd anniversary of his untimely passing, Gabby posted a tribute on Instagram: "It's 33 years. So much has happened, so many huge landmarks passed. 'I will always acknowledge Daniel's wonderful life. But there is a hole that is never filled, a gap that always needs navigating and that has been the challenge for all of us. Advertisement 'A beautiful, painful and brilliant challenge. And that is life. Daniel Aiden Yorath 25.7.76 - 25.5.92." Daniel's death inspired Gabby to champion campaigns for heart screening among young athletes, aiming to prevent similar tragedies in other families. She has actively raised awareness about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the importance of early detection, supporting charities and appeals in Daniel's name. Gabby has presented appeals for charities focused on heart health, including Tiny Tickers, which works to improve early detection of heart defects in children.
