Hibernian's Kevin Thomson rejects English interest

Hibernian midfielder Kevin Thomson has revealed that he rejected a host of English clubs before penning a new deal with the Scottish outfit.

The 28-year-old, who left Middlesbrough in January, spent the second part of last season with Hibs on non-contract terms.

Thomson told the Daily Mail: "There were offers on the table from clubs down south but I knocked them back because I had my mind set on staying with Hibs."

The Scotland international has signed a one-year contract with the club.
