Hibernian FC has announced that midfielder Josh Campbell will be joining St Johnstone on loan for the remainder of the 2026/27 season. This move comes as Campbell looks to secure more playing time in the Scottish Premiership, having made only five appearances for Hibs this season.
The 26-year-old Campbell has had a significant impact at Hibernian, with a total of 184 appearances for the club since his debut. His contributions include an impressive tally of 23 goals and 20 assists, showcasing his ability to influence matches from the midfield.
Head coach David Gray expressed his support for Campbell's decision, stating, "I would like to wish Josh the very best with this loan move. I have known Josh for a very long time and watched him grow up and develop as a player over the years. During that time, he has scored some big goals for us and provided some big moments over the years." This statement reflects the strong relationship between Campbell and the coaching staff at Hibernian.
Gray further noted that Campbell's desire for more regular game time led to this loan arrangement, indicating that St Johnstone will provide him with the opportunity to play more frequently. This move could be beneficial for both Campbell and St Johnstone, as they look to bolster their squad for the remainder of the season.
St Johnstone, competing in the Premiership, will be hoping that Campbell’s experience and skill will enhance their midfield options. The club has been looking to strengthen its lineup as they navigate the challenges of the league, and Campbell's addition could prove vital in their quest for improved performances.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Campbell to see how he adapts to his new surroundings at St Johnstone and whether he can replicate or even exceed his previous performances at Hibernian. The loan move represents a significant step in his career, as he aims to make a lasting impact in the Premiership.
