Kieron Bowie has become Hibernian’s club-record sale after the Scotland striker joined Serie A side Hellas Verona on a four-and-a-half year deal.<\/p>\n
Hibs have not disclosed the exact fee received for Bowie, but they say it “substantially exceeds” the \u00a34.4m Celtic paid for midfielder Scott Brown in 2007.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old scored 15 goals in 52 appearances for the Easter Road outfit after signing from Fulham in 2024.<\/p>\n
“Firstly, I would like to thank Kieron for the way he has conducted himself over the last 18 months,” Hibs head coach David Gray said. <\/p>\n
“He has been a pleasure to coach and he has been fantastic to work with both on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n
“This is a life-changing move for him and his family. He has a bright career ahead of him and we wish him every success in Italy and in the future moving forward.”<\/p>\n
Hibs rejected a bid from Verona<\/a> earlier this week, but Bowie travelled to Milan to undergo a medical<\/a> after a second offer was accepted.<\/p>\n The fee could rise if certain add-ons in the deal are met, while Hibs also have a sell-on clause. <\/p>\n Verona are bottom of Serie A – four points from safety – before Saturday’s match at Cagliari. <\/p>\n “I would like to wish Kieron all the best with his move,” Hibs sporting director Malky Mackay added. <\/p>\n “It has been a joy to watch him develop during his time at Hibs and see him progress through the international youth squads before making his first senior Scotland cap.<\/p>\n “There has always been speculation over Kieron, with several clubs submitting bids over the course of the transfer window. We have worked hard to secure a deal that reflects his true value and one that is in the best interests of Hibernian and all parties involved.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kieron Bowie has become Hibernian’s club-record sale after the Scotland striker joined Serie A side Hellas Verona on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399623,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-399622","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
