Former Man Utd, Celtic and Sunderland midfielder on shortlist
Hibs boss John Hughes has today revealed that he is
interested in signing former Manchester United midfielder Liam Miller.
28-year-old Miller is currently without a club after he was released by Queens Park Rangers at the end of last season.
Hughes has admitted the former Celtic, Leeds Utd and Sunderland player is on a list of “4 or 5” options on a list of out-of-contact players he is considering bringing to Easter Road.
Miller has played 20 times and scored 1 goal at international level for the Republic of Ireland.
Hughes said:
"We have a lot of irons in the fire and he's only one of four or five on our list. When there are good players going about you feel can enrich your squad then you have to think about them.
"Miller is of a good age, a good football player who has maybe lost his way a wee bit but who still has his best years in front of him.
"But we are nowhere near to concluding any business, we haven't even spoken to him."
Hibs are already top heavy in the midfield department, but Miller would bring real quality to the team.
Other players rumoured to be on Yogi's "list" include ex Hearts player Rudi Skacel, who left Southampton during the summer, German international Moritz Volz, recently released by Premiership side Fulham, and former Hibs midfielder Guillaume Beuzelin, released by Coventry City.
