Hibernian have signed striker Jamie Insall on a three-year-deal to be primarily used in the development squad.

The deal, reported by BBC will see Insall get his first crack at professional football with the Scottish side following a successful time in the Non-League circles of England.

Insall says he will ultimately be wanting to help the first team score goals after a fruitful spell with the development squad:

My aim now is to repay the faith that the manager has shown in me working hard, developing my game and ultimately helping the first team by scoring goals.

Insall had been playing at Step 7 of the Non-League pyramid with Bromyard Town, he was top scorer in West Midlands (Regional) League Division 1 last season, helping the club to promotion and the league Championship at the age of 22.

Believing his Non-League roots are the reason for his success Insall said:

Playing in non-league football down south has given me a good grounding and, although I’m still quite raw, I’ve got a real hunger to kick on and make the most of my chance here at Hibs.

Formerly of Bromyard’s local rivals, Worcester Raiders, Insall made headlines for all the wrong reasons before making a move in the West Midlands Regional League by fracturing an opponents jaw in the Worcestershire League and that may be something Hibs manager Alan Stubbs will need to control.

Stubbs, however, believes the striker has what it takes to develop North of the border:

We feel he’s got the potential to succeed at the club and he now has the opportunity to work hard and develop his game with us.

A recent successful trial at Stourbridge FC saw Insall hitting goals proving he can do it at a higher level which was enough to convince Stubbs to give him a shot. A weeks trial with Stubbs picking up the former Kidderminster Harriers youth player quickly turned into two weeks after netting for the development squad.

From two weeks Insall then had a month to prove himself and did so enough to earn a contract.
