Looks like the experience we need. The fact Feyenoord signed him (although he didn't play very often) shows he clearly has something.
Does this spell the end of Zemmama's Hibs career?
Edit : Aahhhh so this is the 'Dutch Sauzee' somebody mentioned...!

His track record looks very good given he has been playing in Holland's top league for a good number of years. Good age with the experience we need. Well done Yogi.

Clearly, de Graaf can be translated as 'The Earl' or 'The Count'.

BREDA - Footballer Edwin de Graaf traded in NAC Breda in the Scottish Hibernian. The 30-year-old midfielder signing a contract in Edinburgh for two years.
Edwin de Graaf played four seasons for NAC Breda. His contract ran this season, so he can leave without compensation to Scotland. A new offer made by NAC De Graaf ignored.
The Earl played in 86 games in the Premiership for NAC in which he scored eighteen times. De Graaf previously played for ADO Den Haag, Feyenoord and RBC Roosendaal.

LONDON - Edwin de Graaf leaves almost certain to Hibernian. The midfielder, who is out of contract at NAC Breda, hopes today is the last wrinkles to iron out with chairman Rod Petrie and manager John Hughes.
"The Count was impressed by the organization of the team, says agent Frank Schouten to NUsport. "But the new training complex and the structure of the club he was never told."
The count could be three years ending commitment to extend NAC, but he wanted a foreign adventure. The American DC United, the English and German MSV Duisburg Barnsley FC angled to its services, and some Dutch clubs.
In the winter were "The Hibees' already in the market for the Count. Manager Hughes sees the 30-year-old a new leader for his team.
The Count is a contract for two seasons at Hibernian sign that next season participating in the Europa League.
He previously played for RBC Roosendaal, Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag. The Earl played four seasons with NAC.

Not just Zouma but I also wanted Wotherspoon to get moved back to right midfield.
Hopefully this guy can play in the centre as well and we can keep Zouma/Wotherspoon on the right.

Looks like a good solid signing, well done the Hibees.
NAC Breda qualified for the Europa last season but got stuffed by Villarreal at the final qualification stage. Edwin de Graaf scored 4 in that competition, including the consolation away goal at Villarreal.
Almost an ever present feature in the league campaign, seems to have missed one game, he scored 6 times.
Seems to have been substituted a few times at the start of last season but completed more games at the end of the season. In the first 25 games he only played the full 90 minutes about half a dozen times, in the final 15 he completed all but 3.
Picked up 5 yellow cards, 1 in the Europa and 4 in the league.
We wore #7.
NAC Breda finished 10th in the league, 1 point short of Europa qualification but a considerable distance from top.Space to let

Looks like a good signing and one I look forward to seeing. Hopefully he can match expectation.
It would seem that the training facility and the stadium are now a real draw for players and that can only be a good thing for the club. European qualification probably helped as well.
