WATCH: Jack Iredale Excited For Hibs Adventure

Hibernian Defender Jack Iredale is raring to go and is excited to make his debut for the Hibees!

The 28-year-old joined on Deadline Day, penning a two-year deal with the Club on a permanent transfer from Bolton Wanderers.

After spending the first two weeks getting up to speed, Jack sat down with Hibs TV to tell us what he has made of his first fortnight at Hibs.

“I have loved my first couple of weeks, everyone has made me feel welcome, the Gaffer, the coaching staff and all the boys as well. I can’t wait to pull on that Hibs shirt and play my first game for the Club.

“I was a bit nervous when I came in on day one, I didn’t have too many familiar faces – I knew one or two of the boys and I knew of the Aussie lads and a couple of boys I had played with in the past. But as soon as I met everyone, they made me feel really comfortable and part of the group.”

Jack joined late on Deadline Day and explained in his own words how the move was a ‘no-brainer.'

“It was a bit hectic to be fair, there was a bit of interest earlier in the window but then I didn’t hear anything else. I was sitting on my couch at 6.30pm on Deadline Day and my agent rang me.

"He asked how much diesel I had in the car, you need to go to Edinburgh now. I just jumped in my car straight away and got here as quickly as possible.

“The size of the Club speaks for itself, I was born in Scotland – I know about the clubs here, I have played in Scotland in the past. You can see the standard of the facilities here, the history of the Club, what the fans are like and the stadium too – it was just a no-brainer for me to come here. The Club works for me on so many levels at this point in my career, and I am so grateful to have this opportunity.”

So, what can Hibs fans expect from Jack Iredale, and when are we likely to see him make his debut?

“I am a left-side defender, I like to get on the ball, I am comfortable on the ball and I like to play passes. As a defender, you have to defend first – so I will give everything for the badge and be nice and aggressive when I need to be.

“Hopefully I can bring a bit of experience to the team as well, I realise I am getting to that stage of my career, I have played plenty of games so I can bring that side of the game to help the team as well.

“I am really close (to full fitness), I am back in training this week and will hopefully be available for the Rangers game, so if I am called upon – I am ready to go.”
