Hibs loanee Will Fish has highlighted the influence of Manchester United teammates Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane.

The 19-year-old is enjoying the second loan of his career following an unsuccessful stay at Stockport County last season.

He said: “Big names like Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane teach you the game, the little tricks and all that.

“I'm thankful for their help. Harry was great. I joined the tour late but he brought me into the group and helped me.

“Even just training with these guys is a boost, and everything that comes with it – the media attention, standard of training, all of that is good. It's a great feeling to represent the club you grew up supporting, every time you pull the shirt on, with all the past players who have come through there."

On moving to Easter Road, Fish says technical director Darren Fletcher had an influence.

He added to the Edinburgh Evening News: "I spoke to Fletch on the way up.

“He said Hibs is a great place to go, a massive club, with great fans so he thought the same as me.

“He's great with us. He oversees training every day for the first team and he helps sort out players making that next step up to the first team from the 23s."
