Thibault Klidjé Joins Hibs!

Hibernian FC is delighted to announce the permanent signing of Thibault Klidjé, subject to international clearance and work permit approval.

The 24-year-old striker has signed for a club record fee from Swiss Super League club Luzern, putting pen-to-paper on a three-year deal. Hibs has an option to extend this by a further campaign.

Having played in Ligue 1 with Bordeaux and the Swiss top-flight with ‘Die Leuchten’, the pacey centre-forward has now made the switch to Scotland.

The Togo international joins Hibs off the back of a fruitful season in the Swiss Super League, he had 15 goal contributions in 39 appearances for Luzern last season, scoring 12 as his side finished sixth in the Swiss top-flight.

Across club and country, Klidjé has made over 100 senior appearances and adds an extra dimension to the Hibs front-line.

On the international stage, he has earned 18 caps for Togo and scored two goals.

After Klidjé put pen-to-paper, Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray commented: “We’re delighted to have attracted someone of Thibault’s quality to the Football Club.

“He adds extra pace and trickery to our front line and performed well for Luzern last season, and at 24 has a lot of room for development. We want to help him progress, and look forward to working with him moving forward.”

Hibernian FC Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “We have been tracking Thibault for a long period of time and are excited to have finally got our man.  

“I would firstly like to thank the Gordon Family and our Board for showing this ambition and investment.

“It’s been our aim to continue to add top quality young strikers to our club and we have been given the chance to do that with Thibault.  

“He is a young, driven, ambitious player who importantly wants to come and play for Hibs. We welcome him to Easter Road and look forward to him pulling on the strip.”
