In particular I'm looking forward to working closely with Colin Calderwood and the talented group of players at the club."I've had three magnificent years at Ross County and leave there with a sense of pride. The club made great progress over that period but it's now time for both Ross County and me to look forward to the next phase. I wish the club every success in the future."His new boss Calderwood said: "I am delighted to have secured Derek's services and now feel that we have an extremely strong group of coaches at the club. I have been hugely impressed by Derek's achievements at Ross County and also saw in his Ross County team the type of organisation and dynamism that I want to see at Hibernian. I have no doubt that he will make a strong contribution to our future development."
