CJ Egan-Riley: Burnley defender joins Hibernian on loan

Hibernian have signed Burnley defender CJ Egan-Riley on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 20-year-old is a centre-back, who also has experience at right-back and in a defensive midfield role.

He joined Burnley last summer from Manchester City but has been limited to six appearances for the Championship leaders.

"CJ is a top young talent, and we can't wait to start working with him," said Hibs boss Lee Johnson.
