Hibernian give Chelsea youngster Islam Feruz a second chance
HIBERNIAN have given Islam Feruz the chance to revive his troubled career.
Islam Feruz quit Celtic for Stamford Bridge in 2011
The 19-year-old arrives on loan from Chelsea, while fellow forward Henri Anier, 24, has also joined on a season-long loan from Dundee United.
Scotland Under-21 cap Feruz has made as many headlines off the pitch as on it in his short career, but Easter Road manager Alan Stubbs believes he can help get him back on track.
He said: “I am delighted we have managed to secure Islam on loan.
“He is a really exciting young talent, a player who has fantastic ability and potential."
Feruz added: “I am excited to be coming back to Scotland and get some first-team football under my belt.
“Hibs have a good young team and I’ve played with a number of the boys before with the national team.
The manager has shown faith in me and I look forward to repaying it by giving 100 per cent when I’m selected.”
