Transfer: Dylan Vente Joins SC Heerenveen

We can confirm that Dylan Vente has joined Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen on a permanent transfer, subject to international clearance.

The terms of the 26-year-old’s transfer will remain undisclosed, however, the Club has received a significant fee.

The Dutch forward joined Hibs in the summer of 2023 and went on to make 43 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals.

Vente spent the majority of the 2024/25 campaign away from Easter Road on loan with PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie, and will now return permanently to the Dutch top-flight.

On his departure, Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray commented: “I’d like to start by wishing Dylan all the best for the future. He was a player that I enjoyed working with on the training pitch and someone that had a real desire to do well.

“He performed well in the Eredivisie with PEC Zwolle last season and felt more comfortable back in his homeland, playing football with a smile on his face. His time at Hibs didn’t quite work out the way we’d all planned, but I’d like to thank him for all his hard work and hope he goes on to achieve his ambitions and full potential.”

Hibernian FC’s Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “There was a lot of interest in Dylan this summer after his performances last season, and he had a clear desire to continue playing and enjoying his football in the Eredivisie.

“We had to make sure that we got the right deal for Hibernian FC, and after a number of conversations, we’re happy with the deal we’ve got for him. We wish him nothing but the best going forward.”
