Hibernian have signed centre-back Nectarios Triantison loan from Sunderland for the remainder of the season.Triantis is no stranger to Hibs head coach Nick Montgomery.
The defender played under him as Central Coast Mariners were crowned A-League Champions.
The Australian centre-back left the Mariners in the summer to join Sunderland, but his game-time has been limited only making three appearances in all competitions.
Montgomery said: “Nectar is a young player that I know very well from my time in Australia. I signed him for the Mariners and gave him his A-League debut as I saw huge potential in him.
“He was a mainstay in our Championship winning team before joining Sunderland in the summer. Although he might not have played much this summer, when he has featured, he’s performed well.
“We have been chasing Nectar for some time, and although we thought he’d remain at Sunderland, circumstances changed last night, and we made a move to bring him to Hibs.
“I’m really happy to bring Nectar to the Club and look forward to him meeting the players at HTC. He adds to the quality we’ve already brought in during this window.”
