Stack joins Hibs
Hibernian have completed the signing of former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack.
Stack had been training with Hibs after Plymouth decided to release the 27-year-old, but a hamstring strain prevented him making any appearances during pre-season, but that has not put new manager John Hughes off handing him a two-year contract in a bid to provide competition for Yves Ma-Kalambay following the departure of Grzegorz Szamotulski.
Stack told the Edinburgh club's official website: "I could see from the moment I arrived at the Hibernian training centre just how massive Hibernian is, and I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to play for this club."
He added: "I realise that competition for the goalkeeping slot will not be easy. Yves Ma-Kalambay has established himself here and in Thomas Flynn the club already has a fine young goalkeeper who has just stepped up from the youth side.
"My aim will be to compete for a first-team place here and show the manager and the supporters that I'm worthy of a regular place in the side."
Hughes added: "I'm delighted that Graham has agreed to join us.
"A priority when I arrived at Hibernian was finding an experienced goalkeeper to provide competition and I feel we now have that.
"Graham is a player I've been aware of for some time. He has I think exactly the temperament I like to see in a goalkeeper: he is a big, agile lad and has a great deal of confidence in everything he does."
Stack started his football career at Arsenal in 2000. Loan spells at Beveren, Millwall and Reading followed before he signed a permanent deal with Reading in 2006.
After further loan moves to Leeds and Wolves, Stack joined Plymouth a year ago, making 11 appearances before going on loan to Blackpool and having another short spell at Wolves.
