Maybe Hanlon's injury is worse than first thought.

It'll be a 1 year deal as he needs another year for his UK residency.

Jamie Maclaren from Oz is a name I heard today.........apparently a striker.

Any of our southern hemisphere Hibees know how good the lad is ?

**ancient hibee** · 15-05-2017 03:37 PM

Better than Patrick Bamford.

Interesting one that. 23yrs old, played for Scotland u19's bet then every level of Australian national team since then. 40 goals in 57 games for Brisbane and finished joint top scorer in the A league last season.

I'd definitely take him for a season.

Would be delighted to see him at Hibs for a season
At 28 years of age he is at his peak

Not sure of the standard of Australia's A-League (or Brisbane Roar) but 40 goals in 53 appearances sounds pretty impressive

**ekhibee** · 15-05-2017 03:58 PM

There's loads of clips of him on youtube. Looks quite a good young player, not sure what he'd cost pricewise and what the quality of the Australian league is, but he certainly knows where the back of the net is.

Edit, just seen all the Efe talk on the previous page.

Indeed. Hanlon seems to have no idea when he will be back.

If we can get him in for six months and see from there surely that's better than not having him?

This. 6 months of Efe is better than 0 months of Efe.

I was watching a BR game a couple of weeks back, finished 4-3 I think and the commentators were saying he was looking for a move to Europe. Looked not bad from what I saw. Although the Aleague defending is not exactly the strongest

He was the one who first mentioned Marciano to Hibs

***Keyser Sauzee*** · 15-05-2017 04:18 PM

I watch the A-League regularly and while there are a lot of good players who have played at a higher level than the SPL I think the standard overall is on a par if not slightly lower than the SPL. Not seen much of this guy tbf but his goal scorer record is impressive.

I'd be absolutely delighted if we secured him on a perm deal..even another year long loan would be decent...best keeper in years

Totally. Huge reason we had so many clean sheets, crucial saves at times, great with his feet and good with crosses. Best in a good while.

Also, from far away he looks a bit like Buffon.

Good source mate? Sounds like a promising player!

**Unseen work** · 15-05-2017 04:32 PM

The boy Maclaren sounds very promising and his goal scoring record is outstanding.

This is the sort of player I like to see us linked with, young with potential and unknown.

Hopefully there is something in it.

Sorry mate, no, was just a name mentioned to me by another supporter - I know very little about football across there hence maybe some of the .netters across there might verify if they've heard we are keen.

Del Piero used to play in the A league so hopefully he is as good as him.

***Heisenberg*** · 15-05-2017 04:42 PM

Maclaren is out of contract with Brisbane Roar by the looks of it. He shouldn't be short of options going by his goal return though.

**itslegaltender** · 15-05-2017 04:49 PM

I reckon Ambrose has lined up a move to the Chinese league for next season (season is March to November), 6 month deal would take him to a month before.
