Sky Sports:
Hibernian loan star Richie Towell has revealed he would be happy to return to Easter Road next season.
Towell joined Hibs on loan from Celtic in the January transfer window and the versatile defender has impressed for Colin Calderwood's side.
The 19-year-old is well down the pecking order at Celtic and he is ready to hold talks with Neil Lennon about returning to Edinburgh on loan again.
"I've loved it here and I don't think I could have dreamed of a better club to come to," Towell told the Daily Record.
"It is such a high standard to be playing at and to have featured regularly in a team that has been doing well has been fantastic for me.
"I will go back to Celtic in the summer and have a chat with Neil Lennon and the staff and see what they feel is best for me.
"It would be good if I could come back here - on loan or permanently - but I just want to play football."
I hope Hibs are doing all they can to make this happen. Towell and Booth have been brilliant in the full back positions and I'd hate to see it interrupted.

I'd like him to stay, though we'll still require a new RB - I reckon Hart will be released and McCann is clearly surplus to requirements.

Wouldn't like another loan as it will only help Celtc get a fee for him, if we can sort out a permanent move then great.

Great news because he's a very good player who gives his all.
Richie will never force his way into the celtic squad so its time he looks elsewhere for first team football and Hibs are in the position to offer thatLast edited by hibiedude; 27-04-2011 at 03:38 PM.

read this early and it's good news as he does try his all and certainly adds something to the team. Maybe not the best at defending but going forward he can offer something and we could certainly make more effect of his long throw in

When I look at all the gap fillers - and the true cost of having them - we have had for this key role over the seasons I would definitely find the money to put together a long term deal for this guy as our number 1 choice, over to you Rod.

I think it won't happen as Celtic will probably try and extract every penny from us as we've done to them.

Great to read his complimentary quote in the press today:
"I've loved it, it has been unbelievable. I don't think I could have dreamed of a better club to have come to."
Good on you Richie. Here's hoping a permanent deal can be arranged rather than another loan.

He's a reasonable player but obviously lacks ambition or fancies an easier ride than he would get at Celtic.

The lad is clearly mental.

We underachieve when we're in the bottom 6, we should be challenging for Europe every single season.

Great news if he stays longer IMO, if he signed permanently it would be a great bit of business from us as I really rate him. And mind he's still only 19, still got plenty of time to mature and improve, no one has ever really held down the RB position and made it theres since Whittaker left.

And if he had barca ambition, he'd be at his agent to get on the phone to Jose to get a Real contract sorted out.

If we retain the services of Towell and sign Jamie Hammill, who can both play RB and mifield, I'll be happy with our cover at RB.
