For Hibs, if they decided to give him a year long deal and retain him as a squad player I'm sure it'd be reasonable business. However, maybe it's in the lads own interests to look elsewhere for the benefit of his career. I've no doubt he could go to a club like St Johnstone, St Mirren, Dunfermline, Raith etc and play in their first team no problem and possibly get his career back on track.
