Ferguson swaps Celtic for Hibernian

Hibernian Women are set to boost their forward line as they announce the signing of 18-year-old Abbie Ferguson from Celtic on a two-year contract. 

The young forward spent the majority of the 22/23 season on loan at SWPL side Partick Thistle, where she netted five goals and provided eight assists, helping Thistle finish in the top six.

Additionally, Ferguson made a stunning debut for Scotland U19's, scoring five goals in a Euro Round 2 qualifying match against Liechtenstein.

Upon joining Hibernian, Ferguson expressed her anticipation, saying, "I am excited to be here and can’t wait to get started. I’m looking to enjoy the upcoming season and hopefully score some goals for the club.”

Grant Scott, Hibs Women's manager, welcomed Ferguson, stating, “We are delighted to bring Abbie to the club, she is a young player but has had experience within the league over the past season. I look forward to working with her and helping her develop both on and off the pitch.”

Hibs Women General Manager Chris Gaunt lauded the acquisition, noting, “This is a brilliant signing from the coaching team. With Abbie and Mya joining other Scotland U19’s Rosie and Eilidh, hopefully, fans can see we are building a group of ambitious Scottish players to help usher in a new era of success for Hibs.”
