Hibs sign Dylan Vente on three-year deal

"First of all, I would like to thank the club who have worked extremely hard to get this deal over the line, in particular, Ben Kensell, Ian Gordon and Brian McDermott with the negotiations and the financial backing from the Gordon family to bring a player of Dylan's quality in," said manager Lee Johnson.

"Dylan is a player coming into his prime who has a natural ability for both scoring and creating goals. I am really excited to see how he adapts to the intensity of the Scottish game because we know he has the attributes to be very successful here.

"The squad is coming together really nicely now, we have got several options in key positions - which will be crucial for us moving forward this season."

Cove Rangers sign Cameron Stewart on loan from Ipswich

"My agent and Paul were in contact, I came up last week and really liked the set-up, and I felt right away this was the place for me. I enjoyed my time with Crusaders, it felt like I was playing proper men's football there, and I was happy with how it went," Stewart told the club website.

"I'm ready for this move and can't wait to get started.

"I see this as a step-up, I've watched Scottish football for years and I think it's a good standard. It's going to be a good test for me at this stage of my career. I know there have been a lot of changes here this summer and I'm sure I'll settle in okay. For me personally, it's all about getting as much game time as I can and trying to help the club get back up to the Championship."

Manager Paul Hartley added: "He's another good defensive option, fits the profile of the type of player we've been trying to sign, is young and full of energy. He's a ball playing centre-half, but he's also aggressive and we liked what we saw of him last week.

"Cameron comes out of a good youth set-up at a big club, he'll have learned good habits, and this is a real opportunity for him to establish himself.

"He made an impact last week when he was here, we've studied a lot of his footage from last season, and I'm looking forward to working with him."

"If I can contribute more goals and more assists, and really help us push for promotion, that's what I'm aiming to do."

Norwich City sporting director Stuart Webber added: "We're all delighted that Liam has committed his long-term future to the football club. This continues to show our dedication to the development of our young players.

"Liam has been top class since he walked into the Lotus Training Centre and deserves this recognition for both his quality and hard work."
