Hibernian have announced striker Junior Agogo is to join the club on a one-year contract, pending international clearance.[LNB] Hibs manager Colin Calderwood revealed earlier this month that the Ghanaian was on trial at Easter Road from Cypriot side Apollon Limassol and he has impressed sufficiently to be handed a deal.[LNB]The 31-year-old will bring a wealth of experience to Hibs, having played in the English Championship, the United States and Egypt as well as Cyprus.[LNB]He has also made 27 appearances for Ghana and Calderwood is delighted to have secured his services.[LNB]"We are really pleased to be able to add Junior to the squad," Calderwood told the club's official website.[LNB]"He is a proven goalscorer and a strong character and he has already settled into Hibernian life in the two weeks he has been on trial with the club.[LNB]"Junior never gets fazed by challenges and he will add another dimension to our attacking arsenal. I'm sure the fans will take to him and that his arrival will further strengthen our attacking options."[LNB]Agogo also expressed his joy at the deal and is especially looking forward to working with Calderwood again after playing under the manager at Nottingham Forest earlier in his career.[LNB]"As soon as Colin told me about the opportunity, there was only one club that I wanted to sign for and that was Hibernian," Agogo explained.[LNB]"I've enjoyed every minute of my time at Hibernian so far and the atmosphere within the squad is both positive and ambitious.[LNB]"I know what Colin wants from his players and I am aiming to deliver committed displays and goals to the team.[LNB]"I've not played in Scotland before, but I'm really looking forward to the challenge ahead."
