Signed on for two years. Happy with that.

Also think that he will be able to pass a lot of knowledge onto Dabrowski to help with his development having come from a club like Arsenal.

Excellent

[Brightside]

Brilliant signing.

[scoopyboy]

Happy with that.

The more we get in quick the better.

[Wilson]

Well done to all concerned. Good luck Matt.

[Dalianwanda]

Delighted!

This closes the Marciano chapter at Hibs.
Had hoped he would have a late change of heart.

Macey No1 and Big Dab as his backup for next season.
Hope Macey is as big a success as Rocky has been.
Keeper is the most vital of positions.

Nice to get that sorted, young Kevin is also out of contract so it'd be good to see him signed up for longer too.

[Hibee Mac]

I've been slightly critical of him up to now but totally behind him now he's seen as our number 1. Hope he kicks on and settles into the side well.

[Since452]

Give him all the remaining games.

[CmoantheHibs]

I’ve liked what I have seen of him so far and although it’s not a large sample I think he will do well. More importantly JR has seen plenty of him and obviously thinks he will be a more than capable replacement for Rocky.

Did he not just sign an extension?

He signed a new two year deal recently

Not overly excited about this if I’m honest. I know a lot of people will say he had no chance with the two Motherwell goals, but he just doesn’t inspire confidence for me.

Cheers. I just checked up after I wrote it as I was sure I’d read it but my memory is not always honest with me

Not sure that’s obvious at all. Ross had previously talked about getting Macey in longer term but wasn’t ruling out getting another keeper in. Perhaps he sees him as good back up and competition rather than outright replacing Rocky?

[JimBHibees]

I get the impression he will be back up

Perhaps but I think JR is an honest and forthright guy and Maceys role would have been discussed between them. Not sure he would have signed on if he wasn’t going to start as no 1 or felt Jack didn’t have a lot of faith in him.Time will tell though.

We’ve no idea what they’ve discussed and yes I’m sure Ross has been open with him about his future role.

[The Baldmans Comb]

Its hard to say if this is a good or bad signing as it is with all inexperienced players but its a chance well worth taking as he is of the right age and has excellent phyisque and looks well coached.

2 years is a decent length of contract and hopefully it works out well for both parties as a transfer fee will be involved if he returns to England.

Having said that we have a better and more experienced big game keeper on the books and we should be playing our best players in the remaining games.

Completely missed the Rocky part - where is he heading off to?

We don't know, but it's been confirmed that he's refused a new contract so he's probably away.

Fair enough, wondered how I had missed that....

I can't see why Kevin would have signed a new contract to be the number 3 keeper or Macey signing a 2 year deal to be the back up keeper
Both have already played those parts and are at the stage of needing to move forward with their careers.
Accordingly I see them as number 1 and back up for next season which is a little scary after Rocky.

If Dabrowski never signed a 2 year deal where would he likely get a club about? I would guess probably championship level at best. By signing a 2 year deal with us he’ll probably get a loan to that level but on Hibs wages with the club keeping an eye on his progress.

Not signing that 2 year deal would have been a huge gamble with very little reward.

I think we'll sign another keeper to compete with Macey for the no. 1 shirt.
