Hibernian has agreed a two-year contract with ex-Celtic and Manchester United midfielder Liam Miller. The 28-year-old former Republic of Ireland international was available outside the transfer window after being without a club since being released by QPR in May. Miller will become John Hughes' sixth signing since he became Hibs boss this summer. Hughes told his club's official website, www.hibernianfc.co.uk: "I am delighted that we have secured the services of a player with the experience and qualities of Liam Miller." He added: "I said at the end of the transfer window that we would not stop looking for the type of player we felt would enhance our squad, and I don't think there is any doubt that Liam will do that. "When you look at the clubs Liam has played for, you know that he is a footballer of real quality, and at 28 years old is at an age where his best years are still ahead of him." Miller added: "I am excited about joining Hibernian and have been very impressed with the set-up at the training centre and within the club. "I'm really looking forward to playing football in Scotland again, and can't wait to start training with the boys and competing for a place in the team."
