James Collins completes Hibernian switch

Hibernian have completed the signing of striker James Collins from Swindon Town.

The 22-year-old Irishman has penned a three-year deal at Easter Road for a reported fee of around £200,000.

"I'm really excited about joining Hibs and playing in the Scottish Premiership," Collins told the club's official website.

"It will be a new challenge for me and I'm aiming to adapt quickly and to score goals for the team."

Collins leaves Swindon after one season following his free transfer from Shrewsbury Town last summer.
