Stenhousemuir sign Jack Brydon on-loan from Hibs

The 17-year old becomes the fourth player to move from the Hibees to Ochilview as part of the strategic partnership between the two clubs, following the path of Jayden Fairley, Callum Yates and Paddy Martin.

Brydon, who can play anywhere along the back four, had a loan spell with Civil Service Strollers in the first half of the season before football was suspended.

Warriors’ manager Davie Irons told the club’s official website: “The management team are really pleased to welcome Jack into the club.

"Thanks to the partnership we have already seen Jack in a game and training.

"He attended training with us in December after the two clubs played a bounce match, this gave him the chance to get to know the staff and players.

"Jack impressed in both the bounce game where he played for Hibs development team and again within our training session.

"The reports from his time at Civil Service were equally positive and we know from our conversations with Hibs that he is a player they regard highly.

He will add both quality and strength to our defensive options.

"Jack is a defender that shows a high degree of game intelligence for his age and plays with a level of controlled aggression that is required at our level.

"He is physically strong and quick and has an excellent attitude; I have high hopes for him.”
