Hibernian have signed Northern Irish full-back Sofie Keenan from NIFL Premiership side Glentoran on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The 20-year-old joined Glentoran from fellow Northern Irish side Linfield back in January 2024 and made over 70 appearances in the country's top flight and turned out in the Champions League.
The full-back played a key role in Glentoran's title win in 2025 and was named young player of the year during that campaign.
"I'm absolutely buzzing to be here," Keenan said.
"I think it's a really special moment for me and my family, moving to a full-time environment and a professional club.
"It was something I couldn't turn down. I think this is the right step for me. It came at the perfect time. Hibs is such a massive club and it's something I want to be part of, so it's special to be here."
Head coach Joelle Murray added: "Sofie is a really exciting signing for Hibs.
"She is a young player with huge potential and a Northern Ireland youth national team international who has already shown her quality at a high level.
"She's a quality left-footed left-back, composed on the ball and provides plenty of energy and ability going forward. She'll be a fantastic addition to the squad and I'm looking forward to seeing her develop further in green and white."
