Hibernian have signed a new four-year kit deal with Nike, the club have confirmed.

The American company replaces German sportsware manufacturer Puma and will supply all Hibs' first-team strips as well as training gear until 2017.

The new contract will begin with the unveiling of the team's new home kit on Friday, June 7.
