Hibernian have signed Czech goalkeeper Jakub Divis on loan until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old currently plays for Tatran Presov in the Slovak First Division and has been on trial at both Hibs and Doncaster Rovers.

Divis began his career at Czech giants Slavia Prague and was capped three times by the Czech Under-21 side.

"After three days of trials it was clear that I would stay at Hibs," Divis told Tatran's official website.

"It all happened very quickly," he added.

"I am expecting stern competition to play but for me it's a big call and a big chance. I'll be doing my best to win a regular spot."

Hibernian manager Colin Calderwood already has Mark Brown, Graham Stack and Graeme Smith in contention for the goalkeeper's jersey.
