Coventry City's Development Director Steve Waggott has said that James McPake joins Hibernian with the club's blessing.
The Scot, whose time at Coventry was frequently interupted through injury, had a year left on his contract at the Ricoh Arena but has been allowed to leave on a free transfer.
Speaking about McPake to the CT's Andy Turner, Mr Waggott said; "James goes with our blessing. He was keen to return to Scotland and to play in the Premier League and lengthy negotiations have taken place for that to happen.
"Meanwhile we are working tirelessly in pursuit of our own targets as we look to put together a squad capable of challenging this season."
