After securing the services of Dutch striker Terence Groothusen, Hibernians announced the signing of another two new players – goalkeeper Matthew Calleja Cremona and Italian striker Leonardo Nanni.

A product of Pembroke Athleta, former Malta Under-21 goalkeeper Matthew Calleja Cremona joined Floriana in summer 2015, first on loan and then on a definite transfer but in summer 2016, he returned back with Pembroke. The following season, he was transferred to St. Andrews where he spent the last two years.

On the other hand, twenty-seven year old striker Leonardo Nanni is a product of Cesena but later played for ASD Astrea, Grosseto and SFF Atletico. 

The Paolites had earlier signed Ferdinando Apap and Jens Wemmer while confirming goalkeeper Marko Jovicic and Marcio Leandro Barbosa da Silveira.

Hibernians will be in action on Thursday 11 as they face Shaktyor Soligorsk of Belarus in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round away from home.
