Two Hibs youngsters join East Kilbride on cooperation loans
Hibs Academy goalkeeper Freddie Owens and forward Dean Cleland have joined East Kilbride on cooperation loans for the 2025/26 season! 19-year-old keeper Owens joins up with the newly-promoted William Hill League Two side after impressing at Civil Service Strollers in the Lowland League last season. Cleland, aged 17, also joins the K-Park club on loan after scoring 38 times for Hibs Under-18s last season in competitive matches as Darren McGregor's side secured the CAS Elite Youth League title. Owens and Cleland will be able to continue playing for Hibs while performing for East Kilbride due to the new Cooperation System. This new Cooperation System allows eligible players to continue playing for their parent club at first team and youth level while gaining invaluable senior football experience with their partner club, therefore increasing their playing time. On the loan moves of Owens and Cleland, Hibs Academy Director Gareth Evans commented: 'Freddie did very well at Civil Service Strollers last season in what was a good campaign for them, and Dean really impressed in our Under-18s team. 'Challenging themselves in League Two, and playing for a good club like East Kilbride, is great for Freddie and Dean in terms of their development and hopefully both will now get minutes at a higher level.'

'One of best young Scottish talents' Bowie pens Hibs extension
Tegan Bowie has signed a contract extension with league champions Hibs, keeping her at Meadowbank until the summer of 2027. The 21-year-old started 26 league games as Grant Scott's side lifted their first SWPL trophy in 18 years. The winger also scored five goals and provided six assists across the SWPL campaign. "We're delighted to secure Tegan for another two years," the manager said. "She's an exciting player who brings real attacking flair and freedom to our squad, the exact kind of player I like in my teams. "I'd challenge her for more goals and assists but her long-term aim should be the Scotland A squad, that's how good she is. "Despite being around for ages, she's still one of the best young talents in Scotland, so it's brilliant that she's staying here at Hibs." Bowie, who came through the Hibs academy, spent time with Celtic before returning to the Edinburgh outfit in June 2023 and has gone on to make 65 appearances. "I'm delighted," Bowie said of her new contract. "It was never in doubt that I was going to sign. I'm just very happy. "We have a good group of staff here that drive us to be better every day. It helps massively."
