Whittaker closing in on Hibernian move

Norwich fullback Steven Whittaker is close to signing for Scottish side Hibernian.

According to the Pink’Un, Whittaker is set to sign for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership upon the expiry of his contract at Norwich.

The Canaries announced last month that seven first-team players would be leaving the club once their deals expired at the end of June.

John Ruddy, Kyle Lafferty, Michael Turner, Sebastien Bassong, Ryan Bennett and Youssouf Mulumbu are the other players who were released.

Bennett has already secured a new club, signing a three-year deal with Championship side Wolves.

Bassong is also reportedly on the verge of a move to Turkish side Bursaspor.

Whittaker spent five years at Norwich, amassing over 100 appearances and scoring seven times. The defender also set up Nathan Redmond for a goal in the play-off final to send Norwich to the Premier League.

The 32-year-old started his career with Hibs, making 174 appearances.
