We are pleased to announce that young Hibernian FC defender Kyle McClelland has joined Coleraine FC on loan.
The 22-year-old will join the NIFL (Northern Ireland Football League) Premiership side for the 2024/25 campaign.
Managed by former Hibs midfielder Dean Shiels, Coleraine finished sixth in the Northern Irish top-flight last season.
The loan provides McClelland with further senior experience having spent last season with Queen of the South in the Scottish League 1, where he made 37 appearances in all competitions. The young centre-half has also had a loan spell at Cove Rangers in the second-tier of Scottish football.
On the loan move, Hibernian FC’s Sporting Director Malky Mackay commented: “This is a further opportunity for Kyle to gain regular experience of senior football.
“Moving to Northern Ireland and competing in a new league will give Kyle different tests and will provide him with a good platform to work on his game. We look forward to seeing how he progresses.”
