Hibernian have made another move into the transfer market to sign Germany Under-21 central defender Torben Joneleit on a season-long loan from Monaco.
The 20-year-old has struggled to make a first-team impression with the French club, but was recently handed a new three-year contract.
Hibs boss, John Collins, told the club's official website: "Torben is an exceptionally talented defender who has so far had limited first-team opportunities at Monaco.
"He is very highly-rated by his club, who have only recently signed him on a three-year contract.
"He is a strong defender who is comfortable with both feet and I am convinced he will prove to be an asset to the football club this season."
