    Block set to sign for Hibs

    Looks like young Tommy Block has impressed in his two trials with Hibs - he is set to sign - https://www.bognor.co.uk/sport/football/non-league/bognor-midfielder-all-set-for-move-to-hibernian-1-8744353

    Interesting. Cheers for that Steve. Haven’t heard much about him since he came up here other than the name being mentioned a few times.

    As you will see in his quotes he speaks very highly of how he has been treated while with Hibs so far.

    Good news. Does this mean we're choosing him over the Canadian guy?

    Be interesting to see how this turns out. One from left field so hopefully it's a success story.

    I thought the Canadian was a center back and Block was a midfielder so not sure why would be choosing one over the other?

    I was under the impression both could play in defence and midfield. Guessing we'd sign one as a backup for a number of positions but primarily CB.

    Block is very much first and foremost a central midfielder - defensive midfielder. Has filled in at centre back for Bognor because of injuries, but much prefers midfield.

    Thanks for the updates.

    I suspect you won’t know the answer to this one but do you think he’ll be in and ready for the first team or is he likely to be a bit away from first team football at professional level?

    Lots of good players came from non league, Vardy, Bullard, Ings, Austen, Crouch, Smalling.

    Started as a trainee but made no appearances, in the 2 years there he was on loan at Dulwich Hamlet and IFK Hassleholm before signing for QPR.

    Well done to the guy to get offered a deal.
    No mean feet in itself.
    The odds are still stacked against him making it but he seems to have a good attitude and work ethic which will give him a good shot at it.
    Good luck Tommy.

    TBH I didn't think so either at the time but he was on a list of 10 top players who played non league football, wasn't till I checked his wiki did I then realise he was at Spurs but purely as a trainee.

    Pub League, eh!

    I know the player and he's a good addition - not the best of the Bognor squad, though. Their left back (who's name I can't recall) has been watched by numerous clubs this season.

    TBF, he ‘ll be expected to prove himself in the development side, not the first team.

    Ps, well done Tommy.

    Sounds like the laddy’s got a great attitude, he knows he has to work hard to succeed as a footballer and seems willing to do so. Look forward to seeing him in a Hibs strip.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
